>Now how do I specify a GET Method for curl_perform() on the URL

Try your code without this option.
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, TRUE);

Remove the line ...

If I am not wrong, by default the perform action will try GET.

  Hi,

    I have given the following options in Curl C API (Linux)

   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, TRUE);
   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

  I get the following output......

  * Connected to www.xyz.com (202.71.XXX.XXX)
  HEAD / HTTP/1.1
  Host: www.xyz.com:4482
  Pragma: no-cache
  Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*

  HTTP/1.1 405 Method not allowed. Please send your request either by GET or POST method
  Date: 20020626191433218
  Content-Type: text/plain
  Content-Length: 77

  * Connection #0 left intact

  * Closing connection #0
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  Now how do I specify a GET Method for curl_perform() on the URL of the form http://www.xyz.com?name1=value1&name2=value2
  Shouldnt CURLOPT_HTTPGET serve the purpose and get the URL contents without giving 405 error ?
  However when I submit the same URL to the browser directly, I get my contents. Only when I try to submit the URL using CURL API, i get the above error.

  Please help.
