Why does curl_easy_strerror() return the same text for all errors?












0














Whatever error code given as argument it always returns the same text "Error", except for CURLE_OK, which returns "No error".
Shouldn't it give a specific error text for each error?



(My LIBCURL_VERSION is 7.28.1).

  • This test code: CURLcode err; for (err=0; err <= 100; err++) { printf("curlE %d='%s'n", err, curl_easy_strerror(err)); } will print the following: curlE 0 = 'No error' curlE 1 = 'Error' curlE 2 = 'Error' curlE 3 = 'Error' curlE 4 = 'Error' curlE 5 = 'Error' curlE 6 = 'Error' (...etc...) curlE 100 = 'Error'
