CURLOPT_CURLU(3) Introduction to Library Functions CURLOPT_CURLU(3)

NAME

CURLOPT_CURLU - URL in URL handle format

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, CURLU *pointer);

DESCRIPTION

Pass in a pointer to the URL handle to work with. The parameter
should be a CURLU pointer. Setting CURLOPT_CURLU(3) explicitly
overrides CURLOPT_URL(3).

CURLOPT_URL(3) or CURLOPT_CURLU(3) must be set before a transfer is
started.

libcurl uses this handle and its contents read-only and does not
change its contents. An application can update the contents of the
URL handle after a transfer is done and if the same handle is used in
a subsequent request the updated contents is used.

DEFAULT

NULL

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE

CURLUcode ret;
ret = curl_url_set(urlp, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CURLU, urlp);

result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

curl_url_cleanup(urlp);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
