.TH CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD 3 "28 Aug 2015" libcurl libcurl
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD \- get the last used HTTP method
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD,
|
|
char **methodp);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH 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 \fBmethodp\fP pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT
|
|
free - it gets freed when you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP on the
|
|
corresponding CURL handle.
