                           int conn_local_port)
{
  printf("Connection made to %s:%d\n", conn_primary_ip, conn_primary_port);
  return CURL_PREREQFUNC_OK;
}
int main(void)
{
  struct priv prereq_data;

  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PREREQFUNCTION, prereq_callback);
