CURLINFO_SCHEME(3)	    Library Functions Manual	      CURLINFO_SCHEME(3)

NAME
     CURLINFO_SCHEME - URL scheme used in transfer

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SCHEME, char **scheme);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass  a  pointer  to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-termi-
     nated string holding the URL scheme used for the most recent transfer  done
     with  this  CURL  handle. The scheme might also sometimes be referred to as
     the protocol.

     The scheme 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.

     The returned scheme might be upper or lowercase. Do comparisons case insen-
     sitively.

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE
     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 if(result == CURLE_OK) {
	   char *scheme = NULL;
	   curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_SCHEME, &scheme);
	   if(scheme)
	     printf("scheme: %s\n", scheme); /* scheme: HTTP */
	 }
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }

AVAILABILITY
     Added in curl 7.52.0

     curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
