The two mutually exclusive options are: \fBCURLHEADER_UNIFIED\fP - the headers specified in \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP will be used in requests both to servers and proxies. With this option enabled, \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)\fP will not have any effect. \fBCURLHEADER_SEPARATE\fP - makes \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP headers only get sent to a server and not to a proxy. Proxy headers must be set with \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)\fP to get used. Note that if a non-CONNECT request is sent to a proxy, libcurl will send both server headers and proxy headers. When doing CONNECT, libcurl will send \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)\fP headers only to the proxy and then \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP headers only to the server. .SH DEFAULT CURLHEADER_SEPARATE (changed in 7.42.1, used CURLHEADER_UNIFIED before then) .SH PROTOCOLS HTTP .SH EXAMPLE .nf CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode ret; struct curl_slist *list; list = curl_slist_append(NULL, "Shoesize: 10"); list = curl_slist_append(list, "Accept:"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:8080"); /* HTTPS over a proxy makes a separate CONNECT to the proxy, so tell libcurl to not send the custom headers to the proxy. Keep them separate! */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, CURLHEADER_SEPARATE); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Added in 7.37.0 .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER "(3), " CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER "(3), "
