bionic (3) CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES.3.gz

NAME

       CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES - specify alternative matches for HTTP 200 OK

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES,
                                 struct curl_slist *aliases);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer  to  a  linked  list of aliases to be treated as valid HTTP 200 responses.  Some servers
       respond with a custom header response line.  For example, SHOUTcast servers respond with  "ICY  200  OK".
       Also  some  very  old  Icecast  1.3.x servers will respond like that for certain user agent headers or in
       absence of such. By including this string in your list of aliases, the response  will  be  treated  as  a
       valid HTTP header line such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK".

       The  linked  list  should  be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs, and be properly filled in.
       Use curl_slist_append(3) to create the list and curl_slist_free_all(3) to clean up an entire list.

       The alias itself is not parsed for any version strings. The protocol is assumed to match HTTP 1.0 when an
       alias match.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         struct curl_slist *list;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

         list = curl_slist_append(NULL, "ICY 200 OK");
         list = curl_slist_append(list, "WEIRDO 99 FINE");

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES, list);
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_slist_free_all(list); /* free the list again */
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.10.3

       Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
