CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3) |
NAME¶
CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL - control HSTS behavior
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> #define CURLHSTS_ENABLE (1<<0) #define CURLHSTS_READONLYFILE (1<<1) CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL, long bitmask);
DESCRIPTION¶
HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) means that an HTTPS server can instruct the client to not contact it again over clear-text HTTP for a certain period into the future. libcurl then automatically redirects HTTP attempts to such hosts to instead use HTTPS. This is done by libcurl retaining this knowledge in an in-memory cache.
Populate the long bitmask with the correct set of features to instruct libcurl how to handle HSTS for the transfers using this handle.
BITS¶
- CURLHSTS_ENABLE
- Enable the in-memory HSTS cache for this handle.
- CURLHSTS_READONLYFILE
- Make the HSTS file (if specified) read-only - makes libcurl not save the cache to the file when closing the handle.
DEFAULT¶
0
PROTOCOLS¶
This functionality affects http only
EXAMPLE¶
int main(void) {
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL, (long)CURLHSTS_ENABLE);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
} }
AVAILABILITY¶
Added in curl 7.74.0
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
