                    void *clientp)
{


  struct data *mine = clientp;

{


  CURL *curl;


  CURLcode res;


  struct data my_tracedata;


  curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION, my_trace);


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA, &my_tracedata);


    /* the DEBUGFUNCTION has no effect until we enable VERBOSE */
