CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET(3)                           Library Functions Manual

NAME
       CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET - get info on unmet time conditional or 304
       HTTP response.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET,
                                  long *unmet);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition
       provided in the previous request did not match (see
       CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)). Alas, if this returns a 1 you know that the
       reason you did not get data in return is because it did not fulfill the
       condition. The long this argument points to gets a zero stored if the
       condition instead was met. This can also return 1 if the server
       responded with a 304 HTTP status code, for example after sending a
       custom "If-Match-*" header.

PROTOCOLS
       HTTP

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

           /* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);

           /* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION,
                            (long)CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);

           /* Perform the request */
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           if(!res) {
             /* check the time condition */
             long unmet;
             res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, &unmet);
             if(!res) {
               printf("The time condition was %sfulfilled\n", unmet?"NOT":"");
             }
           }
         }
       }
