CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET(3)

NAME
     CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET - unmet time conditional or 304 HTTP response

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET,
				long *unmet);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass  a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided
     in the previous request did not match (see CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)). Alas,
     if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you did not get data in return
     is because it did not fulfill the condition. The long this argument  points
     to  gets  a zero stored if the condition instead was met. This can also re-
     turn 1 if the server responded with a 304 HTTP status code, for example af-
     ter sending a custom "If-Match-*" header.

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE
     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

	 /* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);

	 /* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);

	 /* Perform the request */
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	 if(result == CURLE_OK) {
	   /* check the time condition */
	   long unmet;
	   result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, &unmet);
	   if(result == CURLE_OK) {
	     printf("The time condition was %sfulfilled\n", unmet ? "NOT" : "");
	   }
	 }
       }
     }
