Most operations in -libcurl have default actions, and by using the appropriate options to -\fIcurl_easy_setopt\fP, you can change them.

Read this manual carefully as bad input values may cause -libcurl to behave badly! You can only set one option in each function call. A -typical application uses many curl_easy_setopt() calls in the setup phase. - -\fBNOTE:\fP strings passed to libcurl as 'char *' arguments, will not be -copied by the library. Instead you should keep them available until libcurl no -longer needs them. Failing to do so will cause very odd behavior or even -crashes. - -\fBNOTE2:\fP options set with this function call are valid for the forthcoming -data transfers that are performed when you invoke \fIcurl_easy_perform\fP. -The options are not in any way reset between transfers, so if you want -subsequent transfers with different options, you must change them between the -transfers. - -The \fIhandle\fP is the return code from a \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP or -\fIcurl_easy_duphandle(3)\fP call. -.SH OPTIONS -The options are listed in a sort of random order, but you'll figure it out! -.TP 0.8i -.B CURLOPT_FILE -Data pointer to pass to the file write function. Note that if you specify the -\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If you -don't use a callback, you must pass a 'FILE *' as libcurl will pass this to -fwrite() when writing data. - -\fBNOTE:\fP If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use the -\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP if you set this option or you will experience -crashes. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION -Function pointer that should match the following prototype: \fBsize_t -function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream);\fP This -function gets called by libcurl as soon as there is data available to pass -available that needs to be saved. The size of the data pointed to by \fIptr\fP -is \fIsize\fP multiplied with \fInmemb\fP. Return the number of bytes -actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed to your -function, it'll signal an error to the library and it will abort the transfer -and return \fICURLE_WRITE_ERROR\fP. - -Set the \fIstream\fP argument with the \fBCURLOPT_FILE\fP option. - -\fBNOTE:\fP you will be passed as much data as possible in all invokes, but -you cannot possibly make any assumptions. It may be one byte, it may be -thousands. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_INFILE -Data pointer to pass to the file read function. Note that if you specify the -\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If you -don't specify a read callback, this must be a valid FILE *. - -\fBNOTE:\fP If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use a -\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP if you set this option. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_READFUNCTION -Function pointer that should match the following prototype: \fBsize_t -function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream);\fP This -function gets called by libcurl as soon as it needs to read data in order to -send it to the peer. The data area pointed at by the pointer \fIptr\fP may be -filled with at most \fIsize\fP multiplied with \fInmemb\fP number of -bytes. Your function must return the actual number of bytes that you stored in -that memory area. Returning 0 will signal end-of-file to the library and cause -it to stop the current transfer. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_INFILESIZE -When uploading a file to a remote site, this option should be used to tell -libcurl what the expected size of the infile is. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_URL -The actual URL to deal with. The parameter should be a char * to a zero -terminated string. The string must remain present until curl no longer needs -it, as it doesn't copy the string. - -\fBNOTE:\fP this option is (the only one) required to be set before -\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP is called. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PROXY -Set HTTP proxy to use. The parameter should be a char * to a zero terminated -string holding the host name or dotted IP address. To specify port number in -this string, append :[port] to the end of the host name. The proxy string may -be prefixed with [protocol]:// since any such prefix will be ignored. The -proxy's port number may optionally be specified with the separate option -\fICURLOPT_PROXYPORT\fP. - -\fBNOTE:\fP when you tell the library to use a HTTP proxy, libcurl will -transparently convert operations to HTTP even if you specify a FTP URL -etc. This may have an impact on what other features of the library you can -use, such as CURLOPT_QUOTE and similar FTP specifics that don't work unless -you tunnel through the HTTP proxy. Such tunneling is activated with -\fICURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL\fP. - -\fBNOTE2:\fP libcurl respects the environment variables \fBhttp_proxy\fP, -\fBftp_proxy\fP, \fBall_proxy\fP etc, if any of those is set. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PROXYPORT -Pass a long with this option to set the proxy port to connect to unless it is -specified in the proxy string \fICURLOPT_PROXY\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL -Set the parameter to non-zero to get the library to tunnel all operations -through a given HTTP proxy. Note that there is a big difference between using -a proxy and to tunnel through it. If you don't know what this means, you -probably don't want this tunneling option. (Added in libcurl 7.3) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_VERBOSE -Set the parameter to non-zero to get the library to display a lot of verbose -information about its operations. Very useful for libcurl and/or protocol -debugging and understanding. - -You hardly ever want this set in production use, you will almost always want -this when you debug/report problems. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_HEADER -A non-zero parameter tells the library to include the header in the body -output. This is only relevant for protocols that actually have headers -preceding the data (like HTTP). -.TP -.B CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS -A non-zero parameter tells the library to shut of the built-in progress meter -completely. - -\fBNOTE:\fP future versions of libcurl is likely to not have any built-in -progress meter at all. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_NOBODY -A non-zero parameter tells the library to not include the body-part in the -output. This is only relevant for protocols that have separate header and body -parts. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FAILONERROR -A non-zero parameter tells the library to fail silently if the HTTP code -returned is equal to or larger than 300. The default action would be to return -the page normally, ignoring that code. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_UPLOAD -A non-zero parameter tells the library to prepare for an upload. The -CURLOPT_INFILE and CURLOPT_INFILESIZE are also interesting for uploads. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_POST -A non-zero parameter tells the library to do a regular HTTP post. This is a -normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind, which is the most commonly used -one by HTML forms. See the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option for how to specify the -data to post and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE in how to set the data size. Starting -with libcurl 7.8, this option is obsolete. Using the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option -will imply this option. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY -A non-zero parameter tells the library to just list the names of an ftp -directory, instead of doing a full directory listing that would include file -sizes, dates etc. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND -A non-zero parameter tells the library to append to the remote file instead of -overwrite it. This is only useful when uploading to a ftp site. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_NETRC -A non-zero parameter tells the library to scan your \fI~/.netrc\fP file to -find user name and password for the remote site you are about to access. Only -machine name, user name and password is taken into account (init macros and -similar things aren't supported). - -\fBNote:\fP libcurl does not verify that the file has the correct properties -set (as the standard Unix ftp client does). It should only be readable by -user. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION -A non-zero parameter tells the library to follow any Location: header that the -server sends as part of a HTTP header. - -\fBNOTE:\fP this means that the library will re-send the same request on the -new location and follow new Location: headers all the way until no more such -headers are returned. \fICURLOPT_MAXREDIRS\fP can be used to limit the number -of redirects libcurl will follow. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT -A non-zero parameter tells the library to use ASCII mode for ftp transfers, -instead of the default binary transfer. For LDAP transfers it gets the data in -plain text instead of HTML and for win32 systems it does not set the stdout to -binary mode. This option can be usable when transferring text data between -systems with different views on certain characters, such as newlines or -similar. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PUT -A non-zero parameter tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The -data should be set with CURLOPT_INFILE and CURLOPT_INFILESIZE. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_USERPWD -Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for -the connection. If the password is left out, you will be prompted for it. -\fICURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION\fP can be used to set your own prompt function. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD -Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for -the connection to the HTTP proxy. If the password is left out, you will be -prompted for it. \fICURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION\fP can be used to set your own -prompt function. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_RANGE -Pass a char * as parameter, which should contain the specified range you -want. It should be in the format "X-Y", where X or Y may be left out. HTTP -transfers also support several intervals, separated with commas as in -\fI"X-Y,N-M"\fP. Using this kind of multiple intervals will cause the HTTP -server to send the response document in pieces (using standard MIME separation -techniques). -.TP -.B CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER -Pass a char * to a buffer that the libcurl may store human readable error -messages in. This may be more helpful than just the return code from the -library. The buffer must be at least CURL_ERROR_SIZE big. - -\fBNote:\fP if the library does not return an error, the buffer may not have -been touched. Do not rely on the contents in those cases. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_TIMEOUT -Pass a long as parameter containing the maximum time in seconds that you allow -the libcurl transfer operation to take. Normally, name lookups can take a -considerable time and limiting operations to less than a few minutes risk -aborting perfectly normal operations. This option will cause curl to use the -SIGALRM to enable time-outing system calls. - -\fBNOTE:\fP this does not work in Unix multi-threaded programs, as it uses -signals. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS -Pass a char * as parameter, which should be the full data to post in a HTTP -post operation. This is a normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind, which -is the most commonly used one by HTML forms. See also the CURLOPT_POST. Since -7.8, using CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS implies CURLOPT_POST. - -\fBNote:\fP to make multipart/formdata posts (aka rfc1867-posts), check out -the \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP option. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE -If you want to post data to the server without letting libcurl do a strlen() -to measure the data size, this option must be used. When this option is used -you can post fully binary data, which otherwise is likely to fail. If this -size is set to zero, the library will use strlen() to get the size. (Added in -libcurl 7.2) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_REFERER -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to -set the Referer: header in the http request sent to the remote server. This -can be used to fool servers or scripts. You can also set any custom header -with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_USERAGENT -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to -set the User-Agent: header in the http request sent to the remote server. This -can be used to fool servers or scripts. You can also set any custom header -with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FTPPORT -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to -get the IP address to use for the ftp PORT instruction. The PORT instruction -tells the remote server to connect to our specified IP address. The string may -be a plain IP address, a host name, an network interface name (under Unix) or -just a '-' letter to let the library use your systems default IP -address. Default FTP operations are passive, and thus won't use PORT. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT -Pass a long as parameter. It contains the transfer speed in bytes per second -that the transfer should be below during CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME seconds for -the library to consider it too slow and abort. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME -Pass a long as parameter. It contains the time in seconds that the transfer -should be below the CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT for the library to consider it too -slow and abort. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM -Pass a long as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that you -want the transfer to start from. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_COOKIE -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to -set a cookie in the http request. The format of the string should be -[NAME]=[CONTENTS]; Where NAME is the cookie name. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER -Pass a pointer to a linked list of HTTP headers to pass to the server in your -HTTP request. The linked list should be a fully valid list of \fBstruct -curl_slist\fP structs properly filled in. Use \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to -create the list and \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP to clean up an entire -list. If you add a header that is otherwise generated and used by libcurl -internally, your added one will be used instead. If you add a header with no -contents as in 'Accept:' (no data on the right side of the colon), the -internally used header will get disabled. Thus, using this option you can add -new headers, replace internal headers and remove internal headers. - -\fBNOTE:\fPThe most commonly replaced headers have "shortcuts" in the options -CURLOPT_COOKIE, CURLOPT_USERAGENT and CURLOPT_REFERER. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_HTTPPOST -Tells libcurl you want a multipart/formdata HTTP POST to be made and you -instruct what data to pass on to the server. Pass a pointer to a linked list -of HTTP post structs as parameter. The linked list should be a fully valid -list of 'struct HttpPost' structs properly filled in. The best and most -elegant way to do this, is to use \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP as documented. The -data in this list must remained intact until you close this curl handle again -with \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSLCERT -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be -the file name of your certificate. The default format is "PEM" and can be -changed with \fICURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be -the format of your certificate. Supported formats are "PEM" and "DER". (Added -in 7.9.3) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used as -the password required to use the CURLOPT_SSLCERT certificate. If the password -is not supplied, you will be prompted for it. \fICURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION\fP can -be used to set your own prompt function. - -\fBNOTE:\fPThis option is replaced by \fICURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD\fP and only -cept for backward compatibility. You never needed a pass phrase to load -a certificate but you need one to load your private key. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSLKEY -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be -the file name of your private key. The default format is "PEM" and can be -changed with \fICURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE\fP. (Added in 7.9.3) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be -the format of your private key. Supported formats are "PEM", "DER" and "ENG". -(Added in 7.9.3) - -\fBNOTE:\fPThe format "ENG" enables you to load the private key from a crypto -engine. in this case \fICURLOPT_SSLKEY\fP is used as an identifier passed to -the engine. You have to set the crypto engine with \fICURLOPT_SSL_ENGINE\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSLKEYASSWD -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used as -the password required to use the \fICURLOPT_SSLKEY\fP private key. If the -password is not supplied, you will be prompted for -it. \fICURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION\fP can be used to set your own prompt function. -(Added in 7.9.3) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSL_ENGINE -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used as -the identifier for the crypto engine you want to use for your private -key. (Added in 7.9.3) - -\fBNOTE:\fPIf the crypto device cannot be loaded, -\fICURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND\fP is returned. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSL_ENGINEDEFAULT -Sets the actual crypto engine as the default for (asymetric) crypto -operations. (Added in 7.9.3) - -\fBNOTE:\fPIf the crypto device cannot be set, -\fICURLE_SSL_ENGINE_SETFAILED\fP is returned. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_CRLF -Convert Unix newlines to CRLF newlines on FTP uploads. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_QUOTE -Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP commands to pass to the server prior to -your ftp request. The linked list should be a fully valid list of 'struct -curl_slist' structs properly filled in. Use \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to -append strings (commands) to the list, and clear the entire list afterwards -with \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP. Disable this operation again by setting a -NULL to this option. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE -Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP commands to pass to the server after -your ftp transfer request. The linked list should be a fully valid list of -struct curl_slist structs properly filled in as described for -\fICURLOPT_QUOTE\fP. Disable this operation again by setting a NULL to this -option. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER -Pass a pointer to be used to write the header part of the received data to. If -you don't use your own callback to take care of the writing, this must be a -valid FILE *. See also the \fICURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION\fP option below on how to set a -custom get-all-headers callback. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION -Function pointer that should match the following prototype: \fIsize_t -function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream);\fP. This -function gets called by libcurl as soon as there is received header data that -needs to be written down. The headers are guaranteed to be written one-by-one -and only complete lines are written. Parsing headers should be easy enough -using this. The size of the data pointed to by \fIptr\fP is \fIsize\fP -multiplied with \fInmemb\fP. The pointer named \fIstream\fP will be the one -you passed to libcurl with the \fICURLOPT_WRITEHEADER\fP option. Return the -number of bytes actually written or return -1 to signal error to the library -(it will cause it to abort the transfer with a \fICURLE_WRITE_ERROR\fP return -code). (Added in libcurl 7.7.2) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It should contain the -name of your file holding cookie data. The cookie data may be in Netscape / -Mozilla cookie data format or just regular HTTP-style headers dumped to a -file. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSLVERSION -Pass a long as parameter. Set what version of SSL to attempt to use, 2 or -3. By default, the SSL library will try to solve this by itself although some -servers make this difficult why you at times may have to use this option. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION -Pass a long as parameter. This defines how the CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE time value is -treated. You can set this parameter to TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE or -TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE. This is a HTTP-only feature. (TBD) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE -Pass a long as parameter. This should be the time in seconds since 1 jan 1970, -and the time will be used as specified in CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION or if that -isn't used, it will be TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE by default. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST -Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be user -instead of GET or HEAD when doing the HTTP request. This is useful for doing -DELETE or other more or less obscure HTTP requests. Don't do this at will, -make sure your server supports the command first. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_STDERR -Pass a FILE * as parameter. This is the stream to use instead of stderr -internally when reporting errors. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_INTERFACE -Pass a char * as parameter. This set the interface name to use as outgoing -network interface. The name can be an interface name, an IP address or a host -name. (Added in libcurl 7.3) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL -Pass a char * as parameter. Set the krb4 security level, this also enables -krb4 awareness. This is a string, 'clear', 'safe', 'confidential' or -\&'private'. If the string is set but doesn't match one of these, 'private' -will be used. Set the string to NULL to disable kerberos4. The kerberos -support only works for FTP. (Added in libcurl 7.3) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION -Function pointer that should match the \fIcurl_progress_callback\fP prototype -found in \fI\fP. This function gets called by libcurl instead of -its internal equivalent with a frequent interval during data transfer. -Unknown/unused argument values will be set to zero (like if you only download -data, the upload size will remain 0). Returning a non-zero value from this -callback will cause libcurl to abort the transfer and return -\fICURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA -Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first -argument in the progress callback set with \fICURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION\fP. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER -Pass a long that is set to a non-zero value to make curl verify the peer's -certificate. The certificate to verify against must be specified with the -CURLOPT_CAINFO option. (Added in 7.4.2) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_CAINFO -Pass a char * to a zero terminated file naming holding the certificate to -verify the peer with. This only makes sense when used in combination with the -CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER option. (Added in 7.4.2) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION -Pass a pointer to a \fIcurl_passwd_callback\fP function that will be called -instead of the internal one if libcurl requests a password. The function must -match this prototype: \fBint my_getpass(void *client, char *prompt, char* -buffer, int buflen );\fP. If set to NULL, it equals to making the function -always fail. If the function returns a non-zero value, it will abort the -operation and an error (CURLE_BAD_PASSWORD_ENTERED) will be returned. -\fIclient\fP is a generic pointer, see \fICURLOPT_PASSWDDATA\fP. \fIprompt\fP -is a zero-terminated string that is text that prefixes the input request. -\fIbuffer\fP is a pointer to data where the entered password should be stored -and \fIbuflen\fP is the maximum number of bytes that may be written in the -buffer. (Added in 7.4.2) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_PASSWDDATA -Pass a void * to whatever data you want. The passed pointer will be the first -argument sent to the specifed \fICURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION\fP function. (Added in -7.4.2) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FILETIME -Pass a long. If it is a non-zero value, libcurl will attempt to get the -modification date of the remote document in this operation. This requires that -the remote server sends the time or replies to a time querying command. The -\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP function with the \fICURLINFO_FILETIME\fP argument -can be used after a transfer to extract the received time (if any). (Added in -7.5) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS -Pass a long. The set number will be the redirection limit. If that many -redirections have been followed, the next redirect will cause an error -(\fICURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS\fP). This option only makes sense if the -\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is used at the same time. (Added in 7.5) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS -Pass a long. The set number will be the persistant connection cache size. The -set amount will be the maximum amount of simultaneous connections that libcurl -may cache between file transfers. Default is 5, and there isn't much point in -changing this value unless you are perfectly aware of how this work and -changes libcurl's behaviour. - -\fBNOTE:\fP if you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, -setting a smaller MAXCONNECTS than before may cause open connections to get -closed unnecessarily. (Added in 7.7) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY -Pass a long. This option sets what policy libcurl should use when the -connection cache is filled and one of the open connections has to be closed to -make room for a new connection. This must be one of the CURLCLOSEPOLICY_* -defines. Use \fICURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED\fP to make libcurl close -the connection that was least recently used, that connection is also least -likely to be capable of re-use. Use \fICURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST\fP to make -libcurl close the oldest connection, the one that was created first among the -ones in the connection cache. The other close policies are not support -yet. (Added in 7.7) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT -Pass a long. Set to non-zero to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) -connection by force. If the connection cache is full before this connection, -one of the existing connections will be closed as according to the selected or -default policy. This option should be used with caution and only if you -understand what it does. Set this to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an -existing connection (default behavior). (Added in 7.7) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE -Pass a long. Set to non-zero to make the next transfer explicitly close the -connection when done. Normally, libcurl keep all connections alive when done -with one transfer in case there comes a succeeding one that can re-use them. -This option should be used with caution and only if you understand what it -does. Set to 0 to have libcurl keep the connection open for possibly later -re-use (default behavior). (Added in 7.7) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE -Pass a char * to a zero terminated file name. The file will be used to read -from to seed the random engine for SSL. The more random the specified file is, -the more secure will the SSL connection become. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET -Pass a char * to the zero terminated path name to the Entropy Gathering Daemon -socket. It will be used to seed the random engine for SSL. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT -Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in seconds that you allow the -connection to the server to take. This only limits the connection phase, once -it has connected, this option is of no more use. Set to zero to disable -connection timeout (it will then only timeout on the system's internal -timeouts). See also the \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT\fP option. - -\fBNOTE:\fP this does not work in unix multi-threaded programs, as it uses -signals. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_HTTPGET -Pass a long. If the long is non-zero, this forces the HTTP request to get back -to GET. Only really usable if POST, PUT or a custom request have been used -previously using the same curl handle. (Added in 7.8.1) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST -Pass a long. Set if we should verify the Common name from the peer certificate -in the SSL handshake, set 1 to check existence, 2 to ensure that it matches -the provided hostname. (Added in 7.8.1) -.TP -.B CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR -Pass a file name as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl dump all -internally known cookies to the specified file when \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP -is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created. Specify "-" to -instead have the cookies written to stdout. -.TP -.B CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST -Pass a char *, pointing to a zero terminated string holding the list of -ciphers to use for the SSL connection. The list must be syntactly correct, it -consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons. Commas or spaces -are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used, \!, \- and \+ can -be used as operators. Valid examples of cipher lists include 'RC4-SHA', -\'SHA1+DES\', 'TLSv1' and 'DEFAULT'. The default list is normally set when you -compile OpenSSL. - -You'll find more details about cipher lists on this URL: -\fIhttp://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html\fP -.TP -.B CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION -Pass a long, set to one of the values described below. They force libcurl to -use the specific HTTP versions. This is not sensible to do unless you have a -good reason. -.RS -.TP 5 -.B CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE -We don't care about what version the library uses. libcurl will use whatever -it thinks fit. -.TP -.B CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0 -Enforce HTTP 1.0 requests. -.TP -.B CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1 -Enforce HTTP 1.1 requests. -.RE -.TP -.B CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV -Pass a long. If the value is non-zero, it tells curl to use the EPSV command -when doing passive FTP downloads (which is always does by default). Using EPSV -means that it will first attempt to use EPSV before using PASV, but if you -pass FALSE (zero) to this option, it will not try using EPSV, only plain PASV. -.PP -.SH RETURN VALUE -CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an -error occurred as \fI\fP defines. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR curl_easy_init "(3), " curl_easy_cleanup "(3), " -.SH BUGS -If you find any bugs, or just have questions, subscribe to one of the mailing -lists and post.

Append one section at -a time until you've added all the sections you want included and then you pass -the \fIfirstitem\fP pointer as parameter to \fBCURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP. -\fIlastitem\fP is set after each call and on repeated invokes it should be -left as set to allow repeated invokes to find the end of the list faster. - -After the \fIlastitem\fP pointer follow the real arguments. (If the following -description confuses you, jump directly to the examples): - -\fBCURLFORM_COPYNAME\fP or \fBCURLFORM_PTRNAME\fP followed by a string is used -for the name of the section. Optionally one may use \fBCURLFORM_NAMELENGTH\fP -to specify the length of the name (allowing null characters within the -name). All options that use the word COPY in their names copy the given -contents, while the ones with PTR in their names simply points to the (static) -data you must make sure remain until curl no longer needs it. - -The four options for providing values are: \fBCURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS\fP, -\fBCURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS\fP, \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP, or \fBCURLFORM_FILECONTENT\fP -followed by a char or void pointer (allowed for PTRCONTENTS). - -\fBCURLFORM_FILECONTENT\fP does a normal post like \fBCURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS\fP -but the actual value is read from the filename given as a string. - -Other arguments may be \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE\fP if the user wishes to -specify one (for FILE if no type is given the library tries to provide the -correct one; for CONTENTS no Content-Type is sent in this case). - -For \fBCURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS\fP or \fBCURLFORM_COPYNAME\fP the user may also -add \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP followed by the length as a long (if not -given the library will use strlen to determine the length). - -For \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP the user may send multiple files in one section by -providing multiple \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP arguments each followed by the filename -(and each FILE is allowed to have a CONTENTTYPE). - -Another possibility to send single or multiple files in one section is to use -\fBCURLFORM_ARRAY\fP that gets a struct curl_forms array pointer as its -value. Each structure element has a CURLformoption and a char pointer. For the -options only \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP, \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE\fP, and -\fBCURLFORM_END\fP (that is used to determine the end of the array and thus -must be the option of the last and no other element of the curl_forms array) -are allowed. The effect of this parameter is the same as giving multiple -\fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP options possibly with \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE\fP after or -before each \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP option. - -Should you need to specify extra headers for the form POST section, use -\fBCURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER\fP. This takes a curl_slist prepared in the usual way -using \fBcurl_slist_append\fP and appends the list of headers to those Curl -automatically generates for \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE\fP and the content -disposition.
