CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)

CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE3

Time value for conditional

Usage

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, long val);

Overview

Pass a long val as parameter. This should be the time counted as seconds since 1 Jan 1970, and the time is used in a condition as specified with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3).

On systems with 32 bit 'long' variables (such as Windows), this option cannot set dates beyond the year 2038. Consider CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE(3) instead.

Examples

  if(curl) {
    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 */
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
