Since HTTPS is "the new normal", this update changes a lot of man page examples to use https://example.com instead of the previous "http://..." Closes #5969

.TH CURLOPT_HEADER 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_HEADER \- pass headers to the data stream
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, long onoff);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass the long value \fIonoff\fP set to 1 to ask libcurl to include the headers
|
|
in the write callback (\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP). This option is
|
|
relevant for protocols that actually have headers or other meta-data (like
|
|
HTTP and FTP).
|
|
|
|
When asking to get the headers passed to the same callback as the body, it is
|
|
not possible to accurately separate them again without detailed knowledge
|
|
about the protocol in use.
|
|
|
|
Further: the \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP callback is limited to only ever
|
|
get a maximum of \fICURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE\fP bytes passed to it (16KB), while a
|
|
header can be longer and the \fICURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION(3)\fP supports getting
|
|
called with headers up to \fICURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER\fP bytes big (100KB).
|
|
|
|
It is often better to use \fICURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION(3)\fP to get the header
|
|
data separately.
|
|
|
|
While named confusingly similar, \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP is used to set
|
|
custom HTTP headers!
