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.
Enabling this option means asking for a download but without a body.
DEFAULT
0, the body is transferred
PROTOCOLS
Most
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {

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