CURLOPT_CURLU(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_CURLU(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_CURLU - URL in URL handle format
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, CURLU *pointer);
DESCRIPTION
Pass in a pointer to the URL handle to work with. The parameter should
be a CURLU pointer. Setting CURLOPT_CURLU(3) explicitly overrides CUR-
LOPT_URL(3).
CURLOPT_URL(3) or CURLOPT_CURLU(3) must be set before a transfer is
started.
libcurl uses this handle and its contents read-only and does not change
its contents. An application can update the contents of the URL handle
after a transfer is done and if the same handle is used in a subsequent
request the updated contents is used.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all supported protocols
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
CURLU *urlp = curl_url();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
CURLUcode ret;
ret = curl_url_set(urlp, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CURLU, urlp);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_url_cleanup(urlp);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
