CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)                  libcurl                 CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_HTTPGET - ask for an HTTP GET request

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a long. If useget is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back
       to using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously
       using the same curl handle.

       When setting CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) to 1, it will automatically set
       CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0 and CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0.

       Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to
       explicitly select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot
       deselect a method. To reset a handle to default method, consider
       curl_easy_reset(3).

DEFAULT
       0

PROTOCOLS
       HTTP(S)

EXAMPLE
       curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

         /* use a GET to fetch this */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);

         /* Perform the request */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Along with HTTP

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
