.TH CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET 3 "2025-06-27" libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET \- alternative target for this request
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET, string);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer to string which libcurl uses in the upcoming request
instead of the path as extracted from the URL.
libcurl passes on the verbatim string in its request without any filter or
other safe guards. That includes white space and control characters.
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only
