CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL(3) |
NAME¶
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL - default protocol to use if the URL is missing a scheme name
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL,
char *protocol);
DESCRIPTION¶
This option tells libcurl to use protocol if the URL is missing a scheme name.
Use one of these protocol (scheme) names:
dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, ldap, ldaps, pop3, pop3s, rtsp, scp, sftp, smb, smbs, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp
An unknown or unsupported protocol causes error CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL when libcurl parses a URL without a scheme. Parsing happens when curl_easy_perform(3) or curl_multi_perform(3) is called. The protocol set supported by libcurl vary depending on how it was built. Use curl_version_info(3) if you need a list of protocol names supported by the build of libcurl that you are using.
This option does not change the default proxy protocol (http).
Without this option libcurl would make a guess based on the host, see CURLOPT_URL(3) for details.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
DEFAULT¶
NULL (make a guess based on the host)
PROTOCOLS¶
All
EXAMPLE¶
int main(void) {
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* set a URL without a scheme */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "example.com");
/* set the default protocol (scheme) for schemeless URLs */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, "https");
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
} }
AVAILABILITY¶
Added in 7.45.0
RETURN VALUE¶
CURLE_OK if the option is supported.
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if the option is not supported.
