Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files. It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as protocol. Closes #13175

# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD - get the last used HTTP method
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#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 is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT
|
|
free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the
|
|
corresponding CURL handle.
|
|
|
|
# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
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);
|
|
}
|
