GNURLOPT_AUTOREFERER(3)

GNURLOPT_AUTOREFERER(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this page lives in the curl_easy_setopt options manual, and it's literally here to explain the auto-referer glow-up. No cap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

• CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER — automatically update the referer header

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, long
       autorefer);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Pass a parameter set to 1 to enable this. When it's enabled, libcurl will automatically set the Referer: header field in HTTP requests where it follows a Location: redirect. It's giving self-updating header energy. 💫

🎀 DEFAULT 🎀

0, disabled — so it's off by default, bestie. 🙈

🔥 PROTOCOLS 🔥

HTTP. Periodt. 💅

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/foo.bin");

  /* follow redirects */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);

  /* set Referer: automatically when following redirects */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, 1L);

  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
