CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS 3 "March 23, 2020" "libcurl 7.73.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
NAME
CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS - set allowed protocols
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, long bitmask);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long that holds a bitmask of CURLPROTO_* defines. If used, this bitmask limits what protocols libcurl may use in the transfer. This allows you to have a libcurl built to support a wide range of protocols but still limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of them. By default libcurl will accept all protocols it supports (CURLPROTO_ALL). See also CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS(3). These are the available protocol defines:
CURLPROTO_DICT
CURLPROTO_FILE
CURLPROTO_FTP
CURLPROTO_FTPS
CURLPROTO_GOPHER
CURLPROTO_HTTP
CURLPROTO_HTTPS
CURLPROTO_IMAP
CURLPROTO_IMAPS
CURLPROTO_LDAP
CURLPROTO_LDAPS
CURLPROTO_POP3
CURLPROTO_POP3S
CURLPROTO_RTMP
CURLPROTO_RTMPE
CURLPROTO_RTMPS
CURLPROTO_RTMPT
CURLPROTO_RTMPTE
CURLPROTO_RTMPTS
CURLPROTO_RTSP
CURLPROTO_SCP
CURLPROTO_SFTP
CURLPROTO_SMB
CURLPROTO_SMBS
CURLPROTO_SMTP
CURLPROTO_SMTPS
CURLPROTO_TELNET
CURLPROTO_TFTP
DEFAULT
All protocols built-in
PROTOCOLS
All
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
 /* pass in the URL from an external source */
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, argv[1]);

 /* only allow HTTP, TFTP and SFTP */
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS,
 CURLPROTO_HTTP | CURLPROTO_TFTP | CURLPROTO_SFTP);

 /* Perform the request */
 curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.19.4
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
