CurlHandle

Execute the given cURL session.

This function should be called after initializing a cURL session and all the options for the session are set.

On success, this function flushes the result directly to the stdout and returns ENTITY, ENTITY. However, if the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option is set, it will return the result on success, ENTITY on failure.

If CURLOPT_FILE or CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION is set, the result is written to that file or passed to that callback instead, nothing is written to stdout, and ENTITY is returned on success. Whichever of these options and CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER was set last decides where the result goes.

ENTITY

[!NOTE] Note that response status codes which indicate errors (such as 404 Not found) are not regarded as failure. curl_getinfo can be used to check for these.
