26 CURLOPT_NOBODY \- do the download request without getting the body
28 #include <curl/curl.h>
30 CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt);
32 A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in the
33 output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For HTTP(S), this makes
34 libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means just not asking
35 to transfer the body data.
37 Enabling this option means asking for a download but without a body.
39 0, the body is transferred
