NAME

CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE - append FTP transfer mode to URL for proxy

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE,


                          long enabled);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long. If the value is set to 1 (one), it tells libcurl to set the transfer mode (binary or ASCII) for FTP transfers done via an HTTP proxy, by appending ;type=a or ;type=i to the URL. Without this setting, or it being set to 0 (zero, the default), CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT(3) has no effect when doing FTP via a proxy. Beware that not all proxies support this feature.

DEFAULT

0, disabled

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    CURLcode res;


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,


                     "ftp://example.com/old-server/file.txt");


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:80");


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE, 1L);


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, 1L);


    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);


  }
}
