Usually, you just let the URL decide which port to use but this allows the application to override that. While this option accepts a 'long', a port number is usually a 16 bit number and therefore using a port number over 65535 will cause a run-time error. .SH DEFAULT By default this is 0 which makes it not used. .SH PROTOCOLS Used for all protocols that speak to a port number. .SH EXAMPLE .nf CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/foo.bin"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PORT, 8080L); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Always .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_STDERR "(3), " CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION "(3), "
