.TH CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
||
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER \- set custom HTTP headers
|
||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, struct curl_slist *headers);
|
||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
Pass a pointer to a linked list of HTTP headers to pass to the server and/or
|
||
|
proxy in your HTTP request. The same list can be used for both host and proxy
|
||
|
requests!
|
||
|
|
||
|
The linked list should be a fully valid list of \fBstruct curl_slist\fP
|
||
|
structs properly filled in. Use \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to create the list
|
||
|
and \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP to clean up an entire list. If you add a
|
||
|
header that is otherwise generated and used by libcurl internally, your added
|
||
|
one will be used instead. If you add a header with no content as in 'Accept:'
|
||
|
(no data on the right side of the colon), the internally used header will get
|
||
|
disabled. With this option you can add new headers, replace internal headers
|
||
|
and remove internal headers. To add a header with no content (nothing to the
|
||
|
right side of the colon), use the form 'MyHeader;' (note the ending
|
||
|
semicolon).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The headers included in the linked list \fBmust not\fP be CRLF-terminated,
|
||
|
because libcurl adds CRLF after each header item. Failure to comply with this
|
||
|
will result in strange bugs because the server will most likely ignore part of
|
||
|
the headers you specified.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first line in a request (containing the method, usually a GET or POST) is
|
||
|
not a header and cannot be replaced using this option. Only the lines
|
||
|
following the request-line are headers. Adding this method line in this list
|
||
|
of headers will only cause your request to send an invalid header. Use
|
||
|
\fICURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST(3)\fP to change the method.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Pass a NULL to this option to reset back to no custom headers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The most commonly replaced headers have "shortcuts" in the options
|
||
|
\fICURLOPT_COOKIE(3)\fP, \fICURLOPT_USERAGENT(3)\fP and
|
||
|
\fICURLOPT_REFERER(3)\fP.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There's an alternative option that sets or replaces headers only for requests
|
||
|
that are sent with CONNECT to a proxy: \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)\fP. Use
|
||
|
\fICURLOPT_HEADEROPT(3)\fP to control the behavior.
