.TH CURLOPT_HEADEROPT 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_HEADEROPT \- set how to send HTTP headers
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, long bitmask);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long that is a bitmask of options of how to deal with headers. 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, ased CURLHEADER_UNIFIED before then)
