CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD explained
Name
CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD - get the last used HTTP method
Synopsis
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD, char **methodp);
Description
Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective HTTP method.
In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, the method may not be the same method the first request would use.
The methodp pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup on the corresponding CURL handle.
Protocols
Example
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "data"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); if(res == CURLE_OK) { char *method = NULL; curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD, &method); if(method) printf("Redirected to method: %s\n", method); } curl_easy_cleanup(curl); }
Availability
Return value
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
