docs/libcurl: improve easy setopt examples

- always assign the curl_easy_perform() return code (and declare
  the necessary 'result' variable for it)

- always call curl_easy_cleanup() on the created easy handles

NAME

CURLOPT_EXPECT_100_TIMEOUT_MS - timeout for Expect: 100-continue response

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_EXPECT_100_TIMEOUT_MS,
                          long milliseconds);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long to tell libcurl the number of milliseconds to wait for a server response with the HTTP status 100 (Continue), 417 (Expectation Failed) or similar after sending an HTTP request containing an Expect: 100-continue header. If this times out before a response is received, the request body is sent anyway.

DEFAULT

1000 milliseconds

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* wait 3 seconds for 100-continue */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_EXPECT_100_TIMEOUT_MS, 3000L);

    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
