CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL 3 "18 Aug 2015" "libcurl 7.45.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
NAME
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL - default protocol to use if the URL is missing a scheme name
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, char *protocol);
DESCRIPTION
This option tells libcurl to use protocol if the URL is missing a scheme name. Use one of these protocol (scheme) names: dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, ldap, ldaps, pop3, pop3s, rtsp, scp, sftp, smb, smbs, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp An unknown or unsupported protocol causes error CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL when libcurl parses a schemeless URL. Parsing happens when curl_easy_perform(3) or curl_multi_perform(3) is called. The protocols supported by libcurl will vary depending on how it was built. Use curl_version_info(3) if you need a list of protocol names supported by the build of libcurl that you are using. This option does not change the default proxy protocol (http). Without this option libcurl would make a guess based on the host, see CURLOPT_URL(3) for details.
DEFAULT
NULL (make a guess based on the host)
PROTOCOLS
All
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
 /* set a URL without a scheme */
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "example.com");

 /* set the default protocol (scheme) for schemeless URLs */
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, "https");

 /* Perform the request */
 curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.45.0
RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK if the option is supported. CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if the option is not supported.
