#include <string.h>

/* only allow pushes for filenames starting with "push-" */
int push_callback(CURL *parent,
                  CURL *easy,
                  size_t num_headers,
                  struct curl_pushheaders *headers,
                  void *clientp)
{
  char *headp;
  int *transfers = (int *)clientp;
  FILE *out;
  headp = curl_pushheader_byname(headers, ":path");
  if(headp && !strncmp(headp, "/push-", 6)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "The PATH is %s\n", headp);

    /* save the push here */
    out = fopen("pushed-stream", "wb");

    /* write to this file */
    curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, out);

    (*transfers)++; /* one more */

    return CURL_PUSH_OK;
  }
  return CURL_PUSH_DENY;
}

int main(void)
{
  int counter;
  CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();

  curl_multi_setopt(multi, CURLMOPT_PUSHDATA, &counter);
