NAME

6       CURLOPT_HTTPGET - ask for an HTTP GET request
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Pass  a  long. If useget is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back
15       to using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously
16       using the same curl handle.
17
18       When  setting  CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)  to 1, it will automatically set CUR‐
19       LOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0 and CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0.
20
21       Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explic‐
22       itly  select  which  HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a
23       method.   To   reset   a   handle   to   default    method,    consider
24       curl_easy_reset(3).
