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

RETURN VALUE
