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
