CURLOPT_HEADEROPT 3 "October 31, 2019" "libcurl 7.73.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
NAME
CURLOPT_HEADEROPT - set how to send HTTP headers
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, long bitmask);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long that is a bitmask of options of how to deal with headers. The two
mutually exclusive options are:
CURLHEADER_UNIFIED - the headers specified in
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) will be used in requests both to servers and
proxies. With this option enabled, CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3) will not have
any effect.
CURLHEADER_SEPARATE - makes CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) headers only get
sent to a server and not to a proxy. Proxy headers must be set with
CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3) to get used. Note that if a non-CONNECT request
is sent to a proxy, libcurl will send both server headers and proxy
headers. When doing CONNECT, libcurl will send CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)
headers only to the proxy and then CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) headers only to
the server.
DEFAULT
CURLHEADER_SEPARATE (changed in 7.42.1, used CURLHEADER_UNIFIED before then)
PROTOCOLS
HTTP
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode ret; struct curl_slist *list; list = curl_slist_append(NULL, "Shoesize: 10"); list = curl_slist_append(list, "Accept:"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:8080"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, list); /* HTTPS over a proxy makes a separate CONNECT to the proxy, so tell libcurl to not send the custom headers to the proxy. Keep them separate! */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, CURLHEADER_SEPARATE); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_slist_free_all(list); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); }
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.37.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
