CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS(3) NAME CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS - protocols allowed to redirect to SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS, long bitmask); DESCRIPTION This option is deprecated. We strongly recommend using CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTO- COLS_STR(3) instead because this option cannot control all available proto- cols. Pass a long that holds a bitmask of protocol bits. If used, this bitmask limits what protocols libcurl may use in a transfer that it follows to in a redirect when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3) is enabled. This allows you to limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of protocols in redirections. Protocols denied by CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS(3) are not overridden by this option. By default libcurl allows HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS on redirect (7.65.2). CURLPROTO_ALL enables all protocols on redirect, including those otherwise disabled for security. These are the available protocol defines: CURLPROTO_DICT CURLPROTO_FILE CURLPROTO_FTP CURLPROTO_FTPS CURLPROTO_GOPHER CURLPROTO_HTTP CURLPROTO_HTTPS CURLPROTO_IMAP CURLPROTO_IMAPS CURLPROTO_LDAP CURLPROTO_LDAPS CURLPROTO_MQTT CURLPROTO_POP3 CURLPROTO_POP3S CURLPROTO_RTMP CURLPROTO_RTMPE CURLPROTO_RTMPS CURLPROTO_RTMPT CURLPROTO_RTMPTE CURLPROTO_RTMPTS CURLPROTO_RTSP CURLPROTO_SCP CURLPROTO_SFTP CURLPROTO_SMB CURLPROTO_SMBS CURLPROTO_SMTP CURLPROTO_SMTPS CURLPROTO_TELNET CURLPROTO_TFTP DEFAULT HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS PROTOCOLS This functionality affects http only EXAMPLE int main(int argc, char **argv) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode result; /* pass in the URL from an external source */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, argv[1]); /* only allow redirects to HTTP and HTTPS URLs */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS, CURLPROTO_HTTP | CURLPROTO_HTTPS); /* Perform the request */ result = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } HISTORY CURLPROTO_* macros became long types in 8.16.0, prior to this version a long cast was necessary when passed to curl_easy_setopt(3). DEPRECATED Deprecated since 7.85.0. AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.19.4 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
