CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) |
NAME¶
CURLOPT_HTTPGET - ask for an HTTP GET request
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
DESCRIPTION¶
Pass a long. If useget is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the same curl handle.
When setting CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) to 1, libcurl automatically sets CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0 and CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0.
Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explicitly select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a method. To reset a handle to default method, consider curl_easy_reset(3).
DEFAULT¶
0
PROTOCOLS¶
This functionality affects http only
EXAMPLE¶
int main(void) {
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* use a GET to fetch this */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
} }
AVAILABILITY¶
Added in curl 7.8.1
RETURN VALUE¶
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
