NAME¶

CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET - get info on unmet time conditional or 304 HTTP response.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET,


                           long *unmet);

DESCRIPTION¶

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided in the previous request did not match (see CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)). Alas, if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you did not get data in return is because it did not fulfill the condition. The long this argument points to gets a zero stored if the condition instead was met. This can also return 1 if the server responded with a 304 HTTP status code, for example after sending a custom "If-Match-*" header.

PROTOCOLS¶

This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE¶

int main(void)
{


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    CURLcode res;


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");


    /* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);


    /* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);


    /* Perform the request */


    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    if(!res) {


      /* check the time condition */


      long unmet;


      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, &unmet);


      if(!res) {


        printf("The time condition was %sfulfilled\n", unmet?"NOT":"");


      }


    }


  }
}
