CURLOPT_HTTPGET3
Ask for an http get request
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
Overview
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
HTTP(S)
Examples
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);
}
}
Return value
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
