NAME

6       CURLINFO_PROTOCOL - get the protocol used in the connection
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PROTOCOL, long *p);

DESCRIPTION

14       This    option    is    deprecated.   We   strongly   recommend   using
15       CURLINFO_SCHEME(3) instead, because this option cannot return all  pos‐
16       sible protocols!
17
18       Pass  a  pointer to a long to receive the version used in the last http
19       connection.  The returned value will be exactly one of the  CURLPROTO_*
20       values:
21
22       CURLPROTO_DICT, CURLPROTO_FILE, CURLPROTO_FTP, CURLPROTO_FTPS,
23       CURLPROTO_GOPHER, CURLPROTO_HTTP, CURLPROTO_HTTPS, CURLPROTO_IMAP,
24       CURLPROTO_IMAPS, CURLPROTO_LDAP, CURLPROTO_LDAPS, CURLPROTO_POP3,
25       CURLPROTO_POP3S, CURLPROTO_RTMP, CURLPROTO_RTMPE, CURLPROTO_RTMPS,
26       CURLPROTO_RTMPT, CURLPROTO_RTMPTE, CURLPROTO_RTMPTS, CURLPROTO_RTSP,
27       CURLPROTO_SCP, CURLPROTO_SFTP, CURLPROTO_SMB, CURLPROTO_SMBS, CURLPROTO_SMTP,
28       CURLPROTO_SMTPS, CURLPROTO_TELNET, CURLPROTO_TFTP, CURLPROTO_MQTT

37         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
38         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
39         if(res == CURLE_OK) {
40           long protocol;
41           curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PROTOCOL, &protocol);
42         }
43         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
