# NAME
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_nextheader - get the next HTTP header
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
struct curl_header *curl_easy_nextheader(CURL *easy,
|
|
unsigned int origin,
|
|
int request,
|
|
struct curl_header *prev);
|
|

# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This function lets an application iterate over all previously received HTTP
|
|
headers.
|
|
|
|
The *origin* argument is for specifying which headers to receive, as a single
|
|
HTTP transfer might provide headers from several different places and they may
|
|
then have different importance to the user and headers using the same name
|
|
might be used. The *origin* is a bitmask for what header sources you want. See
|
|
the curl_easy_header(3) man page for the origin descriptions.
|
|
|
|
The *request* argument tells libcurl from which request you want headers
|
|
from. A single transfer might consist of a series of HTTP requests and this
|
|
argument lets you specify which particular individual request you want the
|
|
headers from. 0 being the first request and then the number increases for
|
|
further redirects or when multi-state authentication is used. Passing in -1 is
|
|
a shortcut to "the last" request in the series, independently of the actual
|
|
amount of requests used.
|
|
|
|
It is suggested that you pass in the same **origin** and **request** when
|
|
iterating over a range of headers as changing the value mid-loop might give
|
|
you unexpected results.
|
|
|
|
If *prev* is NULL, this function returns a pointer to the first header stored
|
|
within the given scope (origin + request).
|
|
|
|
If *prev* is a pointer to a previously returned header struct,
|
|
curl_easy_nextheader(3) returns a pointer the next header stored within the
|
|
given scope. This way, an application can iterate over all available headers.
|
|
|
|
The memory for the struct this points to, is owned and managed by libcurl and
|
|
is associated with the easy handle. Applications must copy the data if they
|
|
want it to survive subsequent API calls or the life-time of the easy handle.

# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
struct curl_header *prev = NULL;
|
|
struct curl_header *h;
|
|
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
|
|
curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
|
|
/* extract the normal headers from the first request */
|
|
while((h = curl_easy_nextheader(curl, CURLH_HEADER, 0, prev))) {
|
|
printf("%s: %s\n", h->name, h->value);
|
|
prev = h;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* extract the normal headers + 1xx + trailers from the last request */
|
|
unsigned int origin = CURLH_HEADER| CURLH_1XX | CURLH_TRAILER;
|
|
while((h = curl_easy_nextheader(curl, origin, -1, prev))) {
|
|
printf("%s: %s\n", h->name, h->value);
|
|
prev = h;
|
|
}
|
|
}

# AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
Added in 7.83.0. Officially supported since 7.84.0.
|
|
|
|
# RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
This function returns the next header, or NULL when there are no more
|
|
(matching) headers or an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
If this function returns NULL when *prev* was set to NULL, then there are no
|
|
headers available within the scope to return.
