Command line equivalents table

Remarks

This table lists the various curl command line options and their equivalents in this libcurl binding. Not all command line options have libcurl equivalents, and not all features exposed by libcurl can be expressed in terms of a command line.

Many features are accessed by calling the EasyHandle.SetOption or cURLManager.SetOption methods. For these features the binding equivalent gives a sample call.
