57 <p class="level0">This option tells libcurl to use <span Class="emphasis">protocol</span> if the URL is missing a scheme name.
58 <p class="level0">Use one of these protocol (scheme) names:
59 <p class="level0">dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, ldap, ldaps, pop3, pop3s, rtsp, scp, sftp, smb, smbs, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp
60 <p class="level0">An unknown or unsupported protocol causes error <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL</span> when libcurl parses a schemeless URL. Parsing happens when <span Class="emphasis">curl_easy_perform(3)</span> or <span Class="emphasis">curl_multi_perform(3)</span> is called. The protocols supported by libcurl will vary depending on how it was built. Use <span Class="emphasis">curl_version_info(3)</span> if you need a list of protocol names supported by the build of libcurl that you are using.
61 <p class="level0">This option does not change the default proxy protocol (http).
62 <p class="level0">Without this option libcurl would make a guess based on the host, see <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_URL.html">CURLOPT_URL</a> for details. <a name="DEFAULT"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DEFAULT</h2>
