.SH "NAME"
ne_get_content_type \- retrieve content type of response
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.ft B
.nf
#include <ne_basic\&.h>

typedef struct {
    const char *type, *subtype;
    const char *charset;
    char *value;

.HP \w'int\ ne_get_content_type('u
.BI "int ne_get_content_type(ne_request\ *" "req" ", ne_content_type\ *" "ctype" ");"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBne_get_content_type\fR
function retrieves and parses the
Content\-Type
header from the response to request
\fIreq\fR\&. If successful, all fields of the
\fIctype\fR
structure are set (and are never
NULL)\&. The
\fIvalue\fR
field must be freed by the caller using
\fBfree\fR
after use\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBne_get_content_type\fR
returns zero if the response had a valid
Content\-Type
header, or non\-zero on error\&. On error, the
\fIctype\fR
structure is not altered\&.
.SH "HISTORY"
.PP
A default
\fIcharset\fR
value was returned for
text/xml
content\-types in neon 0\&.36\&.0 and earlier; later versions use no default (per
\m[blue]\fBRFC 7303\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2)\&.
