CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_HTTPGET - ask for an HTTP GET request
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If useget is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back
to using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously
using the same curl handle.
When setting CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) to 1, it will automatically set CUR-
LOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0 and CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0.
Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explic-
itly select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a
method. To reset a handle to default method, consider curl_easy_re-
set(3).
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* use a GET to fetch this */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Along with HTTP
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
