CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) libcurl CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_NOBODY - do the download request without getting the body
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt);
DESCRIPTION
A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in
the output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For HTTP(S),
this makes libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means
just not asking to transfer the body data.
For HTTP operations when CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) has been set, disabling this
option (with 0) makes it a GET again - only if the method is still set
to be HEAD. The proper way to get back to a GET request is to set CUR-
LOPT_HTTPGET(3) and for other methods, use the POST or UPLOAD options.
Enabling CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) means asking for a download without a body.
If you do a transfer with HTTP that involves a method other than HEAD,
you get a body (unless the resource and server sends a zero byte body
for the specific URL you request).
DEFAULT
0, the body is transferred

/* Perform the request */
