Set the preferred port number in the URL instead. 32 33This option sets *number* to be the remote port number to connect to, 34instead of the one specified in the URL or the default port for the used 35protocol. 36 37Usually, you just let the URL decide which port to use but this allows the 38application to override that. 39 40While this option accepts a 'long', a port number is an unsigned 16 bit number 41and therefore using a port number lower than zero or over 65535 causes a 42**CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT** error. 43 44# DEFAULT 45 460 which makes it not used. This also makes port number zero impossible to set 47with this API. 48 49# %PROTOCOLS% 50 51# EXAMPLE 52 53~~~c 54int main(void) 55{ 56 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 57 if(curl) { 58 CURLcode res; 59 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin"); 60 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PORT, 8080L); 61 res = curl_easy_perform(curl); 62 curl_easy_cleanup(curl); 63 } 64} 65~~~ 66 67# %AVAILABILITY% 68 69# RETURN VALUE 70 71Returns CURLE_OK 72
