CURLINFO_...IVE_METHOD(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_...IVE_METHOD(3) NAME CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD - get the last used HTTP method SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD, char **methodp); DESCRIPTION Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective HTTP method. In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, the method may not be the same method the first request would use. The methodp pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corre- sponding curl handle. PROTOCOLS This functionality affects http only 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_POSTFIELDS, "data"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); if(res == CURLE_OK) { char *method = NULL; curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD, &method); if(method) printf("Redirected to method: %s\n", method); } curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.72.0 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_getinfo(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).
