This is how getInfo behaves for Private:
getInfo h i = do
case i of
…
Private -> getInfoStr h (show i) 21However, the private pointer is a void* pointer, even though the C library handles it as a char* pointer. From the docs:
Please note that for internal reasons, the value is returned as a char pointer, although effectively being a 'void *'. (Added in 7.10.3)
This is also visible in the fact that for set_opt, CurlPrivate takes a Ptr () argument.
Adding a proper return type of Ptr () should be easy, with the note that life of the pointer will then have to be handled manually by the user of the library.
