NAME

       CURLOPT_HTTPGET - ask for an HTTP GET request

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  long.  If  useget is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to using GET. Usable if a POST,
       HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the same curl handle.

       When  setting  CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)  to  1,  it  will  automatically  set  CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)   to   0   and
       CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0.

       Setting  this  option  to  zero  has no effect. Applications need to explicitly select which HTTP request
       method to  use,  they  cannot  deselect  a  method.  To  reset  a  handle  to  default  method,  consider
       curl_easy_reset(3).

DEFAULT

       0

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L);

         /* Perform the request */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }
