NAME

CURLOPT_SASL_IR - enable sending initial response in first packet

SYNOPSIS

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SASL_IR, long enable);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long. If the value is 1, curl will send the initial response to the server in the first authentication packet in order to reduce the number of ping pong requests. Only applicable to the following supporting SASL authentication mechanisms:

* Login * Plain * GSSAPI * NTLM * OAuth 2.0

Note: Whilst IMAP supports this option there is no need to explicitly set it, as libcurl can determine the feature itself when the server supports the SASL-IR CAPABILITY.

DEFAULT

PROTOCOLS

IMAP, POP3 and SMTP

EXAMPLE

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "smtp://example.com/");
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SASL_IR, 1L);
  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.31.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
