## Remarks

<Warning>As of the April 2021 GDK, suspend and resume is now automatically handled internally within XCurl. This
function is still safe to call, but it is a no-op. The below remarks apply only to versions of the GDK before the
April 2021 GDK.</Warning>

This function aborts all HTTP requests from easy handles, and it prevents you from sending new HTTP requests.

To resume sending HTTP requests once again, call the function [xcurl\_global\_resume](/reference/networking/xcurl/functions/xcurl_global_resume).

Just as with WinHttp, you must clean up networking and HTTP handles upon receiving a suspend event.
