NAME
CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE - get Content-Type
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE, char **ct);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the content-type of the
downloaded object. This is the value read from the Content-Type: field.
If you get NULL, it means that the server did not send a valid Content-
Type header or that the protocol used does not support this.
The ct pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT
free it - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the cor-
responding CURL handle.
PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
/* extract the content-type */
char *ct = NULL;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE, &ct);
if(!res && ct) {
printf("Content-Type: %s\n", ct);
}
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
