DESCRIPTION
This man page includes most, if not all, available error codes in
libcurl. Why they occur and possibly what you can do to fix the prob-
lem are also included.
CURLcode
Almost all "easy" interface functions return a CURLcode error code. No
matter what, using the curl_easy_setopt(3) option curlopt_errorbuffer
is a good idea as it will give you a human readable error string that
may offer more details about the cause of the error than just the error
code. curl_easy_strerror(3) can be called to get an error string from
a given CURLcode number.
CURLcode is one of the following:
CURLE_OK (0)
All fine. Proceed as usual.
CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)
The URL you passed to libcurl used a protocol that this libcurl
does not support. The support might be a compile-time option
that you didn't use, it can be a misspelled protocol string or
just a protocol libcurl has no code for.
CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2)
Very early initialization code failed. This is likely to be an
internal error or problem.
CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT (3)
The URL was not properly formatted.
CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY (5)
Couldn't resolve proxy. The given proxy host could not be
resolved.
CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)
Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.
CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT (7)
Failed to connect() to host or proxy.
CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY (8)
After connecting to a FTP server, libcurl expects to get a cer-
tain reply back. This error code implies that it got a strange
or bad reply. The given remote server is probably not an OK FTP
server.
CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED (9)
We were denied access to the resource given in the URL. For
FTP, this occurs while trying to change to the remote directory.
CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)
After having sent the FTP password to the server, libcurl
CURLE_FTP_CANT_GET_HOST (15)
An internal failure to lookup the host used for the new connec-
tion.
CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_TYPE (17)
Received an error when trying to set the transfer mode to binary
or ASCII.
CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE (18)
A file transfer was shorter or larger than expected. This hap-
pens when the server first reports an expected transfer size,
and then delivers data that doesn't match the previously given
size.
CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE (19)
This was either a weird reply to a 'RETR' command or a zero byte
transfer complete.
CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR (21)
When sending custom "QUOTE" commands to the remote server, one
of the commands returned an error code that was 400 or higher
(for FTP) or otherwise indicated unsuccessful completion of the
command.
CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)
This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP
server returns an error code that is >= 400. (This error code
was formerly known as CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND.)
CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)
An error occurred when writing received data to a local file, or
an error was returned to libcurl from a write callback.
CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED (25)
Failed starting the upload. For FTP, the server typically denied
the STOR command. The error buffer usually contains the server's
explanation for this. (This error code was formerly known as
CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_STOR_FILE.)
CURLE_READ_ERROR (26)
There was a problem reading a local file or an error returned by
the read callback.
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)
A memory allocation request failed. This is serious badness and
things are severely screwed up if this ever occurs.
CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (28)
Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was reached
according to the conditions.
CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED (30)
The FTP PORT command returned error. This mostly happens when
sion.
CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)
A problem occurred somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. You
really want the error buffer and read the message there as it
pinpoints the problem slightly more. Could be certificates (file
formats, paths, permissions), passwords, and others.
CURLE_FTP_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME (36)
Attempting FTP resume beyond file size.
CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE (37)
A file given with FILE:// couldn't be opened. Most likely
because the file path doesn't identify an existing file. Did you
check file permissions?
CURLE_LDAP_CANNOT_BIND (38)
LDAP cannot bind. LDAP bind operation failed.
CURLE_LDAP_SEARCH_FAILED (39)
LDAP search failed.
CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND (41)
Function not found. A required zlib function was not found.
CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK (42)
Aborted by callback. A callback returned "abort" to libcurl.
CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (43)
Internal error. A function was called with a bad parameter.
CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED (45)
Interface error. A specified outgoing interface could not be
used. Set which interface to use for outgoing connections'
source IP address with CURLOPT_INTERFACE. (This error code was
formerly known as CURLE_HTTP_PORT_FAILED.)
CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (47)
Too many redirects. When following redirects, libcurl hit the
maximum amount. Set your limit with CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS.
CURLE_UNKNOWN_TELNET_OPTION (48)
An option set with CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS was not recog-
nized/known. Refer to the appropriate documentation.
CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX (49)
A telnet option string was Illegally formatted.
CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (51)
The remote server's SSL certificate or SSH md5 fingerprint was
deemed not OK.
CURLE_GOT_NOTHING (52)
Nothing was returned from the server, and under the circum-
Failure with receiving network data.
CURLE_SSL_CERTPROBLEM (58)
problem with the local client certificate.
CURLE_SSL_CIPHER (59)
Couldn't use specified cipher.
CURLE_SSL_CACERT (60)
Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certifi-
cates.
CURLE_BAD_CONTENT_ENCODING (61)
Unrecognized transfer encoding.
CURLE_LDAP_INVALID_URL (62)
Invalid LDAP URL.
CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED (63)
Maximum file size exceeded.
CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED (64)
Requested FTP SSL level failed.
CURLE_SEND_FAIL_REWIND (65)
When doing a send operation curl had to rewind the data to
retransmit, but the rewinding operation failed.
CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_INITFAILED (66)
Initiating the SSL Engine failed.
CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED (67)
The remote server denied curl to login (Added in 7.13.1)
CURLE_TFTP_NOTFOUND (68)
File not found on TFTP server.
CURLE_TFTP_PERM (69)
Permission problem on TFTP server.
CURLE_REMOTE_DISK_FULL (70)
Out of disk space on the server.
CURLE_TFTP_ILLEGAL (71)
Illegal TFTP operation.
CURLE_TFTP_UNKNOWNID (72)
Unknown TFTP transfer ID.
CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_EXISTS (73)
File already exists and will not be overwritten.
CURLE_TFTP_NOSUCHUSER (74)
This error should never be returned by a properly functioning
The resource referenced in the URL does not exist.
CURLE_SSH (79)
An unspecified error occurred during the SSH session.
CURLE_SSL_SHUTDOWN_FAILED (80)
Failed to shut down the SSL connection.
CURLE_AGAIN (81)
Socket is not ready for send/recv wait till it's ready and try
again. this return code is only returned from curl_easy_recv(3)
and curl_easy_send(3) (added in 7.18.2)
CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE (82)
Failed to load CRL file (Added in 7.19.0)
CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR (83)
Issuer check failed (Added in 7.19.0)
CURLE_OBSOLETE*
These error codes will never be returned. They were used in an
old libcurl version and are currently unused.
CURLMcode
This is the generic return code used by functions in the libcurl multi
interface. also consider curl_multi_strerror(3).
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM (-1)
This is not really an error. It means you should call
curl_multi_perform(3) again without doing select() or similar in
between.
CURLM_OK (0)
Things are fine.
CURLM_BAD_HANDLE (1)
The passed-in handle is not a valid CURLM handle.
CURLM_BAD_EASY_HANDLE (2)
An easy handle was not good/valid. It could mean that it isn't
an easy handle at all, or possibly that the handle already is in
used by this or another multi handle.
CURLM_OUT_OF_MEMORY (3)
You are doomed.
CURLM_INTERNAL_ERROR (4)
This can only be returned if libcurl bugs. Please report it to
us!
CURLM_BAD_SOCKET (5)
The passed-in socket is not a valid one that libcurl already
knows about. (Added in 7.15.4)
CURLSHE_IN_USE (2)
The share object is currently in use.
CURLSHE_INVALID (3)
An invalid share object was passed to the function.
CURLSHE_NOMEM (4)
Not enough memory was available. (Added in 7.12.0)
