NAME

CURLINFO_REFERER - get the used referrer request header

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REFERER, char **hdrp);

DESCRIPTION

Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the referrer header used in the most recent request. The hdrp pointer is NULL or points to private memory you MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding CURL handle.

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE

if(curl) {
CURLcode res;

res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res == CURLE_OK) {
char *hdr = NULL;
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REFERER, &hdr);
if(hdr)
printf("Referrer header: %s\n", hdr);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
