CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3)       curl_easy_setopt options       CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL - control HSTS behavior

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       #define CURLHSTS_ENABLE       (1<<0)
       #define CURLHSTS_READONLYFILE (1<<1)

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL, long bitmask);

DESCRIPTION
       HSTS  (HTTP  Strict  Transport Security) means that an HTTPS server can
       instruct the client to not contact it again over clear-text HTTP for  a
       certain  period  into the future. libcurl will then automatically redi-
       rect HTTP attempts to such hosts to instead use HTTPS. This is done  by
       libcurl retaining this knowledge in an in-memory cache.

       Populate  the long bitmask with the correct set of features to instruct
       libcurl how to handle HSTS for the transfers using this handle.

BITS
       CURLHSTS_ENABLE
              Enable the in-memory HSTS cache for this handle.

       CURLHSTS_READONLYFILE
              Make the HSTS file (if specified) read-only - makes libcurl  not
              save the cache to the file when closing the handle.

DEFAULT
       0. HSTS is disabled by default.

PROTOCOLS
       HTTPS and HTTP

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL, CURLHSTS_ENABLE);
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.74.0

RETURN VALUE
       Returns  CURLE_OK  if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
       if not.
