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

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1L);
