.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_getinfo - extract information from a curl handle
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
.B "CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *curl, CURLINFO info, ... );"
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Request internal information from the curl session with this function. The
|
|
third argument \fBMUST\fP be a pointer to a long, a pointer to a char *, a
|
|
pointer to a struct curl_slist * or a pointer to a double (as this
|
|
documentation describes further down). The data pointed-to will be filled in
|
|
accordingly and can be relied upon only if the function returns CURLE_OK. Use
|
|
this function AFTER a performed transfer if you want to get transfer related
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
You should not free the memory returned by this function unless it is
|
|
explicitly mentioned below.

|
|
.IP CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total size of all the headers
|
|
received. Measured in number of bytes.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total size of the issued
|
|
requests. This is so far only for HTTP requests. Note that this may be more
|
|
than one request if FOLLOWLOCATION is true.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the result of the certification
|
|
verification that was requested (using the \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP
|
|
option to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP).
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES
|
|
Pass the address of a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of
|
|
OpenSSL crypto-engines supported. Note that engines are normally implemented
|
|
in separate dynamic libraries. Hence not all the returned engines may be
|
|
available at run-time. \fBNOTE:\fP you must call \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP
|
|
on the list pointer once you're done with it, as libcurl will not free the
|
|
data for you. (Added in 7.12.3)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD
|
|
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the content-length of the download. This
|
|
is the value read from the Content-Length: field. Since 7.19.4, this returns -1
|
|
if the size isn't known.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD
|
|
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the specified size of the upload. Since
|
|
7.19.4, this returns -1 if the size isn't known.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE
|
|
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the content-type of the downloaded
|
|
object. This is the value read from the Content-Type: field. If you get NULL,
|
|
it means that the server didn't send a valid Content-Type header or that the
|
|
protocol used doesn't support this.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_PRIVATE
|
|
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to the private data
|
|
associated with the curl handle (set with the \fICURLOPT_PRIVATE(3)\fP option
|
|
to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP). Please note that for internal reasons, the
|
|
value is returned as a char pointer, although effectively being a 'void *'.
|
|
(Added in 7.10.3)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication
|
|
method(s) available. The meaning of the bits is explained in the
|
|
\fICURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3)\fP option for \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP. (Added in
|
|
7.10.8)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication
|
|
method(s) available for your proxy authentication. (Added in 7.10.8)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the errno variable from a connect failure.
|
|
Note that the value is only set on failure, it is not reset upon a
|
|
successful operation. (Added in 7.12.2)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to
|
|
create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are
|
|
counted). Combined with \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT\fP you are able to know
|
|
how many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See
|
|
the Connection Options of \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP to see how libcurl tries
|
|
to make persistent connections to save time. (Added in 7.12.3)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP
|
|
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a zero-terminated
|
|
string holding the IP address of the most recent connection done with this
|
|
\fBcurl\fP handle. This string may be IPv6 if that's enabled. Note that you
|
|
get a pointer to a memory area that will be re-used at next request so you
|
|
need to copy the string if you want to keep the information. (Added in 7.19.0)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the destination port of the most recent
|
|
connection done with this \fBcurl\fP handle. (Added in 7.21.0)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP
|
|
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a zero-terminated
|
|
string holding the local (source) IP address of the most recent connection done
|
|
with this \fBcurl\fP handle. This string may be IPv6 if that's enabled. The
|
|
same restrictions apply as to \fICURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP\fP. (Added in 7.21.0)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the local (source) port of the most recent
|
|
connection done with this \fBcurl\fP handle. (Added in 7.21.0)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_COOKIELIST
|
|
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of all
|
|
cookies cURL knows (expired ones, too). Don't forget to
|
|
\fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP the list after it has been used. If there are no
|
|
cookies (cookies for the handle have not been enabled or simply none have been
|
|
received) 'struct curl_slist *' will be set to point to NULL. (Added in
|
|
7.14.1)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last socket used by this curl
|
|
session. If the socket is no longer valid, -1 is returned. When you finish
|
|
working with the socket, you must call curl_easy_cleanup() as usual and let
|
|
libcurl close the socket and cleanup other resources associated with the
|
|
handle. This is typically used in combination with
|
|
\fICURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3)\fP. (Added in 7.15.2)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this API is deprecated since it is not working on win64 where the SOCKET
|
|
type is 64 bits large while its 'long' is 32 bits. Use the
|
|
\fICURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET\fP instead, if possible.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET
|
|
Pass a pointer to a curl_socket_t to receive the active socket used by this
|
|
curl session. If the socket is no longer valid, -1 is returned. When you
|
|
finish working with the socket, you must call curl_easy_cleanup() as usual and
|
|
let libcurl close the socket and cleanup other resources associated with the
|
|
handle. This is typically used in combination with
|
|
\fICURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this is meant as a cross-platform, safe alternative to
|
|
\fICURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP, which does not work on win64.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH
|
|
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the
|
|
path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when
|
|
logging on to the remote FTP server. This stores a NULL as pointer if
|
|
something is wrong. (Added in 7.15.4)
|
|
|
|
Also works for SFTP since 7.21.4
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_CERTINFO
|
|
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_certinfo *' and you'll get it set to point to
|
|
struct that holds a number of linked lists with info about the certificate
|
|
chain, assuming you had \fICURLOPT_CERTINFO(3)\fP enabled when the previous
|
|
request was done. The struct reports how many certs it found and then you can
|
|
extract info for each of those certs by following the linked lists. The info
|
|
chain is provided in a series of data in the format "name:content" where the
|
|
content is for the specific named data. See also the certinfo.c example. NOTE:
|
|
this option is only available in libcurl built with OpenSSL, NSS or GSKit
|
|
support. (Added in 7.19.1)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION
|
|
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *'. The pointer will be
|
|
initialized to refer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *' that will contain an
|
|
enum indicating the SSL library used for the handshake and the respective
|
|
internal TLS session structure of this underlying SSL library.
|
|
|
|
This may then be used to extract certificate information in a format
|
|
convenient for further processing, such as manual validation. NOTE: this
|
|
option may not be available for all SSL backends; unsupported SSL backends
|
|
will return 'CURLSSLBACKEND_NONE' to indicate that they are not supported;
|
|
this does not mean that no SSL backend was used. (Added in 7.34.0)
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
struct curl_tlssessioninfo {
|
|
curl_sslbackend backend;
|
|
void *internals;
|
|
};
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
The \fIinternals\fP struct member will point to a TLS library specific pointer
|
|
with the following underlying types:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP OpenSSL
|
|
SSL_CTX *
|
|
.IP GnuTLS
|
|
gnutls_session_t
|
|
.IP NSS
|
|
PRFileDesc *
|
|
.IP gskit
|
|
gsk_handle
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided in
|
|
the previous request didn't match (see \fICURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)\fP). Alas,
|
|
if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you didn't get data in return is
|
|
because it didn't fulfill the condition. The long ths argument points to will
|
|
get a zero stored if the condition instead was met. (Added in 7.19.4)
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_SESSION_ID
|
|
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the
|
|
most recent RTSP Session ID.
|
|
|
|
Applications wishing to resume an RTSP session on another connection should
|
|
retrieve this info before closing the active connection.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_CLIENT_CSEQ
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the next CSeq that will be used by the
|
|
application.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_SERVER_CSEQ
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the next server CSeq that will be expected
|
|
by the application.
|
|
|
|
\fI(NOTE: listening for server initiated requests is currently
|
|
unimplemented).\fP
|
|
|
|
Applications wishing to resume an RTSP session on another connection should
|
|
retrieve this info before closing the active connection.
|
|
.IP CURLINFO_RTSP_CSEQ_RECV
|
|
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the most recently received CSeq from the
|
|
server. If your application encounters a \fICURLE_RTSP_CSEQ_ERROR\fP then you
|
|
may wish to troubleshoot and/or fix the CSeq mismatch by peeking at this value.
