curl_url_set 3 "November 06, 2018" "libcurl 7.64.1" "libcurl Manual"
NAME
curl_url_set - set a URL part
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLUcode curl_url_set(CURLU *url, CURLUPart part, const char *content, unsigned int flags)
DESCRIPTION
Given the url handle of an already parsed URL, this function lets the user set/update individual pieces of it. The part argument should identify the particular URL part (see list below) to set or change, with content pointing to a zero terminated string with the new contents for that URL part. The contents should be in the form and encoding they'd use in a URL: URL encoded. Setting a part to a NULL pointer will effectively remove that part's contents from the CURLU handle. The flags argument is a bitmask with independent features.
PARTS
CURLUPART_URL
Allows the full URL of the handle to be replaced. If the handle already is populated with a URL, the new URL can be relative to the previous. When successfully setting a new URL, relative or absolute, the handle contents will be replaced with the information of the newly set URL. Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string to the url parameter. The string must point to a correctly formatted "RFC 3986+" URL or be a NULL pointer.
CURLUPART_SCHEME
Scheme cannot be URL decoded on set.
CURLUPART_USER
CURLUPART_PASSWORD
CURLUPART_OPTIONS
CURLUPART_HOST
The host name can use IDNA. The string must then be encoded as your locale says or UTF-8 (when winidn is used).
CURLUPART_PORT
Port cannot be URL encoded on set.
CURLUPART_PATH
If a path is set in the URL without a leading slash, a slash will be inserted automatically when this URL is read from the handle.
CURLUPART_QUERY
The query part will also get spaces converted to pluses when asked to URL encode on set with the CURLU_URLENCODE bit. If used together with the CURLU_APPENDQUERY bit, the provided part will be appended on the end of the existing query - and if the previous part didn't end with an ampersand (&), an ampersand will be inserted before the new appended part. When CURLU_APPENDQUERY is used together with CURLU_URLENCODE, the first '=' symbol will not be URL encoded. The question mark in the URL is not part of the actual query contents.
CURLUPART_FRAGMENT
The hash sign in the URL is not part of the actual fragment contents.
FLAGS
The flags argument is zero, one or more bits set in a bitmask.
CURLU_NON_SUPPORT_SCHEME
If set, allows curl_url_set(3) to set a non-supported scheme.
CURLU_URLENCODE
When set, curl_url_set(3) URL encodes the part on entry, except for scheme, port and URL. When setting the path component with URL encoding enabled, the slash character will be skipped. The query part gets space-to-plus conversion before the URL conversion. This URL encoding is charset unaware and will convert the input on a byte-by-byte manner.
CURLU_DEFAULT_SCHEME
If set, will make libcurl allow the URL to be set without a scheme and then sets that to the default scheme: HTTPS. Overrides the CURLU_GUESS_SCHEME option if both are set.
CURLU_GUESS_SCHEME
If set, will make libcurl allow the URL to be set without a scheme and it instead "guesses" which scheme that was intended based on the host name. If the outermost sub-domain name matches DICT, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP then that scheme will be used, otherwise it picks HTTP. Conflicts with the CURLU_DEFAULT_SCHEME option which takes precedence if both are set.
RETURN VALUE
Returns a CURLUcode error value, which is CURLUE_OK (0) if everything went fine. If this function returns an error, no URL part is returned.
EXAMPLE
 CURLUcode rc;
 CURLU *url = curl_url();
 rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
 if(!rc) {
 char *scheme;
 /* change it to an FTP URL */
 rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, "ftp", 0);
 }
 curl_url_cleanup(url);
