NAME

CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE - get the last response code

SYNOPSIS

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, long *codep);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received HTTP, FTP or SMTP response code. This option was previously known as CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE in libcurl 7.10.7 and earlier. The stored value will be zero if no server response code has been received. Note that a proxy's CONNECT response should be read with CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE(3) and not this.

Support for SMTP responses added in 7.25.0.

EXAMPLE

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  CURLcode res;
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
  res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  if(res == CURLE_OK) {
    long response_code;
    curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &response_code);
  }
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

AVAILABILITY
