CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3) 				     curl_easy_setopt options					   CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION - specify HTTP protocol version to use SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, long version); DESCRIPTION
Pass version a long, set to one of the values described below. They ask libcurl to use the specific HTTP versions. This is not sensible to do unless you have a good reason. You have to set this option if you want to use libcurl's HTTP/2 support. Note that the HTTP version is just a request. libcurl will still prioritize to re-use an existing connection so it might then re-use a con- nection using a HTTP version you haven't asked for. CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE We don't care about what version the library uses. libcurl will use whatever it thinks fit. CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0 Enforce HTTP 1.0 requests. CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1 Enforce HTTP 1.1 requests. CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_0 Attempt HTTP 2 requests. libcurl will fall back to HTTP 1.1 if HTTP 2 can't be negotiated with the server. (Added in 7.33.0) The alias CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2 was added in 7.43.0 to better reflect the actual protocol name. CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS Attempt HTTP 2 over TLS (HTTPS) only. libcurl will fall back to HTTP 1.1 if HTTP 2 can't be negotiated with the HTTPS server. For clear text HTTP servers, libcurl will use 1.1. (Added in 7.47.0) CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_PRIOR_KNOWLEDGE Issue non-TLS HTTP requests using HTTP/2 without HTTP/1.1 Upgrade. It requires prior knowledge that the server supports HTTP/2 straight away. HTTPS requests will still do HTTP/2 the standard way with negotiated protocol version in the TLS handshake. (Added in 7.49.0) DEFAULT

CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3)					     curl_multi_setopt options					    CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3)

NAME
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING - enable HTTP pipelining and multiplexing SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING, long bitmask); DESCRIPTION
Pass in the bitmask parameter to instruct libcurl to enable HTTP pipelining and/or HTTP/2 multiplexing for this multi handle. When enabled, libcurl will attempt to use those protocol features when doing parallel requests to the same hosts. For pipelining, this means that if you add a second request that can use an already existing connection, the second request will be "piped" on the same connection rather than being executed in parallel. For multiplexing, this means that follow-up requests can re-use an existing connection and send the new request multiplexed over that at the same time as other transfers are already using that single connection. There are several other related options that are interesting to tweak and adjust to alter how libcurl spreads out requests on different connections or not etc. Before 7.43.0, this option was set to 1 and 0 to enable and disable HTTP/1.1 pipelining. Starting in 7.43.0, bitmask's second bit also has a meaning, and you can ask for pipelining and multiplexing independently of each other by toggling the correct bits. CURLPIPE_NOTHING Default, which means doing no attempts at pipelining or multiplexing. CURLPIPE_HTTP1 If this bit is set, libcurl will try to pipeline HTTP/1.1 requests on connections that are already established and in use to hosts. CURLPIPE_MULTIPLEX If this bit is set, libcurl will try to multiplex the new transfer over an existing connection if possible. This requires HTTP/2. DEFAULT
