NAME

6       CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET  -  get  info on unmet time conditional or 304
7       HTTP response.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <curl/curl.h>
11
12       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, long
13       *unmet);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Pass  a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition pro‐
17       vided in the previous  request  didn't  match  (see  CURLOPT_TIMECONDI‐
18       TION(3)). Alas, if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you didn't
19       get data in return is because it didn't fulfill the condition. The long
20       this argument points to will get a zero stored if the condition instead
21       was met. This can also return 1 if the server responded with a 304 HTTP
22       status code, for example after sending a custom "If-Match-*" header.
