NE_GET_CONTENT_TYPE(3)        neon API reference        NE_GET_CONTENT_TYPE(3)

NAME
       ne_get_content_type - retrieve content type of response

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ne_basic.h>

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

       int ne_get_content_type(ne_request *req, ne_content_type *ctype);

DESCRIPTION
       The ne_get_content_type function retrieves and parses the Content-Type
       header from the response to request req. If successful, all fields of
       the ctype structure are set (and are never NULL). The value field must
       be freed by the caller using free after use.

RETURN VALUE
       ne_get_content_type returns zero if the response had a valid
       Content-Type header, or non-zero on error. On error, the ctype
       structure is not altered.

HISTORY
       A default charset value was returned for text/xml content-types in neon
       0.36.0 and earlier; later versions use no default (per RFC 7303[1]).
