| .TH CURLOPT_NOBODY 3 "June 21, 2017" "libcurl 7.70.0" "curl_easy_setopt options" |
| |
| .SH NAME |
| CURLOPT_NOBODY \- do the download request without getting the body |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| #include <curl/curl.h> |
| |
| CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt); |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in the |
| output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For HTTP(S), this makes |
| libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means just not asking |
| to transfer the body data. |
| |
| Enabling this option means asking for a download but without a body. |
| .SH DEFAULT |
| 0, the body is transferred |
