If *useget* is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to 32using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the 33same curl *handle*. 34 35When setting CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) to 1, libcurl automatically sets 36CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0 and CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3) to 0. 37 38Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explicitly 39select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a method. To 40reset a handle to default method, consider curl_easy_reset(3). 41 42# DEFAULT 43 440 45 46# %PROTOCOLS% 47 48# EXAMPLE 49 50~~~c 51int main(void) 52{ 53 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 54 if(curl) { 55 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); 56 57 /* use a GET to fetch this */ 58 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1L); 59 60 /* Perform the request */ 61 curl_easy_perform(curl); 62 } 63} 64~~~ 65 66# %AVAILABILITY% 67 68# RETURN VALUE 69 70Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. 71
