oracular (3) CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES.3.gz

NAME

       CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES - 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  old  Icecast  1.3.x servers respond like that for certain user agent headers or in absence of
       such. By including this string in your list of aliases, the response gets 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

       This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           struct curl_slist *list;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://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
