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. .SH DEFAULT 0, the body is transferred .SH PROTOCOLS Most .SH EXAMPLE .nf curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); /* get us the resource without a body! */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1L); /* Perform the request */ curl_easy_perform(curl); } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Always .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_HTTPGET "(3), " CURLOPT_POST "(3), "
