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.
