CURLOPT_HTTPGET - ask for an HTTP GET request #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget); Pass a long. If useget is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the same curl handle. When setting CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) to 1, it will automatically set CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0 and CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0. Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explicitly select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a method. To reset a handle to default method, consider curl_easy_reset(3). 0 HTTP(S)

curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

 /* use a GET to fetch this */
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);

 /* Perform the request */
 curl_easy_perform(curl);
}

Along with HTTP Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. CURLOPT_NOBODY "(3), " CURLOPT_UPLOAD "(3), " CURLOPT_POST "(3), " curl_easy_reset "(3) "
