The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
.SH ENCODING
The string pointed to in the \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP argument is generally
expected to be a sequence of characters using an ASCII compatible encoding.
If libcurl is built with IDN support, the server name part of the URL can use
an "international name" by using the current encoding (according to locale) or
UTF-8 (when winidn is used).
If libcurl is built without IDN support, the server name is used exactly as
specified when passed to the name resolver functions.
.SH DEFAULT
There is no default URL. If this option isn't set, no transfer can be
performed.
