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_reset(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.
