CURLINFO_PROTOCOL(3) Introduction to Library Functions CURLINFO_PROTOCOL(3)

NAME

CURLINFO_PROTOCOL - get the protocol used in the connection

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PROTOCOL, long *p);

DESCRIPTION

This option is deprecated. We strongly recommend using
CURLINFO_SCHEME(3) instead, because this option cannot return all
possible protocols.

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the version used in the last http
connection. The returned value is set to one of the CURLPROTO_*
values:

CURLPROTO_DICT, CURLPROTO_FILE, CURLPROTO_FTP, CURLPROTO_FTPS,
CURLPROTO_GOPHER, CURLPROTO_HTTP, CURLPROTO_HTTPS, CURLPROTO_IMAP,
CURLPROTO_IMAPS, CURLPROTO_LDAP, CURLPROTO_LDAPS, CURLPROTO_POP3,
CURLPROTO_POP3S, CURLPROTO_RTMP, CURLPROTO_RTMPE, CURLPROTO_RTMPS,
CURLPROTO_RTMPT, CURLPROTO_RTMPTE, CURLPROTO_RTMPTS, CURLPROTO_RTSP,
CURLPROTO_SCP, CURLPROTO_SFTP, CURLPROTO_SMB, CURLPROTO_SMBS, CURLPROTO_SMTP,
CURLPROTO_SMTPS, CURLPROTO_TELNET, CURLPROTO_TFTP, CURLPROTO_MQTT

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res == CURLE_OK) {
long protocol;
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PROTOCOL, &protocol);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

DEPRECATED

Deprecated since 7.85.0.

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.52.0

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error
occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
