CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE - get the last response code

Added in curl 7.10.8

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received HTTP, FTP, SMTP or LDAP (OpenLDAP only) response code. This option was previously known as CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE in libcurl 7.10.7 and earlier. The stored value is 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.

int main(void) { 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); } }
