26 CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE \- get Content-Type
28 #include <curl/curl.h>
30 CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE, char **ct);
32 Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the content-type of the downloaded
33 object. This is the value read from the Content-Type: field. If you get NULL,
34 it means that the server didn't send a valid Content-Type header or that the
35 protocol used doesn't support this.
37 The \fBct\fP pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT
38 free it - it gets freed when you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP on the
39 corresponding CURL handle.
44 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
46 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
48 res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
51 /* extract the content-type */
53 res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE, &ct);
55 printf("Content-Type: %s\\n", ct);
58 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
64 Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
