- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive - make historic mentions use HISTORY - generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing where to put it - generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of guessing where to put it - make the protocols section more verbose Closes #14227

# 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.

|

# %PROTOCOLS%

|
|
|
# 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);
|
|
}
|
|
}
