CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options						 CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_NOBODY - do the download request without getting the body
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt);
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.
DEFAULT
0, the body is transferred
PROTOCOLS
Most
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); /* get us the resource without a body! */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1L); /* Perform the request */ curl_easy_perform(curl); }
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
