CURLOPT_PR...ANSFER_MODE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_PR...ANSFER_MODE(3)

NAME
     CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE - append FTP transfer mode to URL for proxy

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE,
			       long enabled);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass  a  long.  If the value is set to 1 (one), it tells libcurl to set the
     transfer mode (binary or ASCII) for FTP transfers done via an  HTTP  proxy,
     by appending ;type=a or ;type=i to the URL. Without this setting, or it be-
     ing  set  to  0  (zero, the default), CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT(3) has no effect
     when doing FTP via a proxy. Beware that not all proxies support  this  fea-
     ture.

DEFAULT
     0, disabled

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,
			  "ftp://example.com/old-server/file.txt");
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:80");
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE, 1L);
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, 1L);
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }

AVAILABILITY

RETURN VALUE
     curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
