NAME
curl_easy_cleanup - End a libcurl easy handle SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> void curl_easy_cleanup(CURL *handle); DESCRIPTION
This function must be the last function to call for an easy session. It is the opposite of the curl_easy_init(3) function and must be called with the same handle as input that a curl_easy_init(3) call returned. This might close all connections this handle has used and possibly has kept open until now - unless it was attached to a multi handle while doing the transfers. Don't call this function if you intend to transfer more files, re-using handles is a key to good performance with libcurl. Occasionally you may get your progress callback or header callback called from within curl_easy_cleanup(3) (if previously set for the han- dle using curl_easy_setopt(3)). Like if libcurl decides to shut down the connection and the protocol is of a kind that requires a com- mand/response sequence before disconnect. Examples of such protocols are FTP, POP3 and IMAP. Any use of the handle after this function has been called and have returned, is illegal. curl_easy_cleanup(3) kills the handle and all mem- ory associated with it! For libcurl versions before 7.17,: after you've called this function, you can safely remove all the strings you've previously told libcurl to use, as it won't use them anymore now. RETURN VALUE
None EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } SEE ALSO

NAME
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL - default protocol to use if the URL is missing a scheme name SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, char *protocol); DESCRIPTION
This option tells libcurl to use protocol if the URL is missing a scheme name. Use one of these protocol (scheme) names: dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, ldap, ldaps, pop3, pop3s, rtsp, scp, sftp, smb, smbs, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp An unknown or unsupported protocol causes error CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL when libcurl parses a schemeless URL. Parsing happens when curl_easy_perform(3) or curl_multi_perform(3) is called. The protocols supported by libcurl will vary depending on how it was built. Use curl_version_info(3) if you need a list of protocol names supported by the build of libcurl that you are using. This option does not change the default proxy protocol (http). Without this option libcurl would make a guess based on the host, see CURLOPT_URL(3) for details. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. DEFAULT
NULL (make a guess based on the host) PROTOCOLS
All EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { /* set a URL without a scheme */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "example.com"); /* set the default protocol (scheme) for schemeless URLs */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, "https"); /* Perform the request */ curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.45.0 RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK if the option is supported. CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if the option is not supported. SEE ALSO
