NAME

       CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD - get the last used HTTP method

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD,
                                  char **methodp);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective HTTP method.

       In  cases  when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, the method may not be the same
       method the first request would use.

       The methodp pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT free - it gets
       freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding CURL handle.

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP(S)

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         CURLcode res;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "data");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         if(res == CURLE_OK) {
           char *method = NULL;
           curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD, &method);
           if(method)
             printf("Redirected to method: %s\n", method);
         }
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
