CURLOPT_PORT(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_PORT(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_PORT - remote port number to connect to
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PORT, long number);
DESCRIPTION
This option sets number to be the remote port number to connect to, in-
stead of the one specified in the URL or the default port for the used
protocol.
Usually, you just let the URL decide which port to use but this allows
the application to override that.
While this option accepts a 'long', a port number is usually a 16 bit
number and therefore using a port number over 65535 will cause a run-
time error.
DEFAULT
By default this is 0 which makes it not used.
PROTOCOLS
Used for all protocols that speak to a port number.
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PORT, 8080L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
