23 .TH CURLOPT_HTTPGET 3 "February 03, 2016" "libcurl 7.59.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
26 CURLOPT_HTTPGET \- ask for a HTTP GET request
28 #include <curl/curl.h>
30 CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
32 Pass a long. If \fIuseget\fP is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to
33 using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the
34 same curl \fIhandle\fP.
36 When setting \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)\fP to 1, it will automatically set
37 \fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP to 0 and \fICURLOPT_UPLOAD(3)\fP to 0.
44 curl = curl_easy_init();
46 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
48 /* use a GET to fetch this */
49 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);
51 /* Perform the request */
52 curl_easy_perform(curl);
58 Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
