# NAME
CURLOPT_HTTPGET - ask for an HTTP GET request
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If *useget* is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to
using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the
same curl *handle*.
When setting CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) to 1, libcurl automatically sets
CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0 and CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0.
Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explicitly
select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a method. To
reset a handle to default method, consider curl_easy_reset(3).
# DEFAULT
0
# PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* use a GET to fetch this */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Along with HTTP
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
