.TH CURLOPT_NOBODY 3 "17 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_NOBODY \- do the download request without getting the body
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in the
|
|
output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For HTTP(S), this makes
|
|
libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means just not asking
|
|
to transfer the body data.
|
|
|
|
For HTTP operations when \fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP has been set, disabling this
|
|
option (with 0) makes it a GET again - only if the method is still set to be
|
|
HEAD. The proper way to get back to a GET request is to set
|
|
\fICURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)\fP and for other methods, use the POST or UPLOAD
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
Enabling \fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP means asking for a download without a body.
|
|
|
|
If you do a transfer with HTTP that involves a method other than HEAD, you get
|
|
a body (unless the resource and server sends a zero byte body for the specific
|
|
URL you request).
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
0, the body is transferred
