CURLOPT_CURLU(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_CURLU - URL in CURLU * format

SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, void *pointer);

DESCRIPTION
Pass in a pointer to the URL to work with. The parameter should be a CURLU *. Setting CURLOPT_CURLU(3) will explicitly override CURLOPT_URL(3). CURLOPT_URL(3) or CURLOPT_CURLU(3) must be set before a transfer is started. libcurl will use this handle and its contents read-only and will 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 then used in a subsequent request the updated contents will then be used.

DEFAULT
The default value of this parameter is NULL.

PROTOCOLS
All

EXAMPLE
CURL *handle = curl_easy_init();
CURLU *urlp = curl_url();
int res = 0;
if(curl) {
  res = curl_url_set(urlp, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
  curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, urlp);
  ret = curl_easy_perform(handle);
  curl_url_cleanup(urlp);
  curl_easy_cleanup(handle);
}

AVAILABILITY
