.TH CURLOPT_HTTPGET 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_HTTPGET \- ask for an HTTP GET request
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, long useget);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If \fIuseget\fP is 1, this forces the HTTP request to get back to
using GET. Usable if a POST, HEAD, PUT, etc has been used previously using the
same curl \fIhandle\fP.
When setting \fICURLOPT_HTTPGET(3)\fP to 1, it will automatically set
\fICURLOPT_NOBODY(3)\fP to 0 and \fICURLOPT_UPLOAD(3)\fP to 0.
Setting this option to zero has no effect. Applications need to explicitly
select which HTTP request method to use, they cannot deselect a method. To
reset a handle to default method, consider \fIcurl_easy_reset(3)\fP.
.SH DEFAULT
0
.SH PROTOCOLS

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
