CURLINFO_REFERER(3)	   Library Functions Manual	   CURLINFO_REFERER(3)

NAME
       CURLINFO_REFERER	- get the used referrer	request	header

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle,	CURLINFO_REFERER, char **hdrp);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the referrer	header used in
       the most	recent request.

       The hdrp	pointer	is NULL	or points to private memory. You must not free
       it.    The    memory   gets   freed   automatically   when   you	  call
       curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding curl handle.

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   CURLcode res;
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://example.org/referrer");
	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	   if(res == CURLE_OK) {
	     char *hdr = NULL;
	     curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REFERER, &hdr);
	     if(hdr)
	       printf("Referrer	header:	%s\n", hdr);
	   }
	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	 }
       }
