CURLOPT_FILETIME(3)                 libcurl                CURLOPT_FILETIME(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_FILETIME - get the modification time of the remote resource


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FILETIME, long gettime);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long. If it is 1, libcurl will attempt to get the modification
       time of the remote document in this operation. This requires that the
       remote server sends the time or replies to a time querying command. The
       curl_easy_getinfo(3) function with the CURLINFO_FILETIME(3) argument
       can be used after a transfer to extract the received time (if any).


DEFAULT

       0


PROTOCOLS

       HTTP(S), FTP(S), SFTP, FILE, SMB(S)


EXAMPLE

       curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
         /* Ask for filetime */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1L);
         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         if(CURLE_OK == res) {
           res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME, &filetime);
           if((CURLE_OK == res) && (filetime >= 0)) {
             time_t file_time = (time_t)filetime;
             printf("filetime %s: %s", filename, ctime(&file_time));
           }
         }
         /* always cleanup */
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
