  25. .TH CURLOPT_HTTPGET 3 "January 02, 2023" "libcurl 7.88.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"
  26. .SH NAME
  27. CURLOPT_HTTPGET \- ask for an HTTP GET request
  28. .SH SYNOPSIS
  29. .nf
  30. #include <curl/curl.h>
  31. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
  32. .fi
  33. .SH DESCRIPTION
  34. Pass a long. If \fIuseget\fP is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to
  35. using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the
  36. same curl \fIhandle\fP.
  37. When setting \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)\fP to 1, it will automatically set
  38. \fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP to 0 and \fICURLOPT_UPLOAD(3)\fP to 0.
  39. Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explicitly
  40. select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a method. To
  41. reset a handle to default method, consider \fIcurl_easy_reset(3)\fP.
  42. .SH DEFAULT
  43. 0
  44. .SH PROTOCOLS
  45. HTTP(S)

  52. curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);
