The header callback will be called once for each header and only +complete header lines are passed on to the callback. Parsing headers is very +easy using this. The size of the data pointed to by \fIbuffer\fP is \fIsize\fP +multiplied with \fInitems\fP. Do not assume that the header line is zero +terminated! + +The pointer named \fIuserdata\fP is the one you set with the +\fICURLOPT_HEADERDATA(3)\fP option. + +This callback function must return the number of bytes actually taken care of. +If that amount differs from the amount passed in to your function, it'll signal +an error to the library. This will cause the transfer to get aborted and the +libcurl function in progress will return \fICURLE_WRITE_ERROR\fP. + +A complete HTTP header that is passed to this function can be up to +\fICURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER\fP (100K) bytes and includes the final line terminator. + +If this option is not set, or if it is set to NULL, but +\fICURLOPT_HEADERDATA(3)\fP is set to anything but NULL, the function used to +accept response data will be used instead. That is, it will be the function +specified with \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP, or if it is not specified or +NULL - the default, stream-writing function. + +It's important to note that the callback will be invoked for the headers of +all responses received after initiating a request and not just the final +response. This includes all responses which occur during authentication +negotiation. If you need to operate on only the headers from the final +response, you will need to collect headers in the callback yourself and use +HTTP status lines, for example, to delimit response boundaries. + +For an HTTP transfer, the status line and the blank line preceding the response +body are both included as headers and passed to this function. + +When a server sends a chunked encoded transfer, it may contain a trailer. That +trailer is identical to an HTTP header and if such a trailer is received it is +passed to the application using this callback as well. There are several ways +to detect it being a trailer and not an ordinary header: 1) it comes after the +response-body. 2) it comes after the final header line (CR LF) 3) a Trailer: +header among the regular response-headers mention what header(s) to expect in +the trailer. + +For non-HTTP protocols like FTP, POP3, IMAP and SMTP this function will get +called with the server responses to the commands that libcurl sends. +.SH LIMITATIONS +libcurl does not unfold HTTP "folded headers" (deprecated since RFC 7230). A +folded header is a header that continues on a subsequent line and starts with +a whitespace. Such folds will be passed to the header callback as a separate +one, although strictly it is just a continuation of the previous line. +.SH DEFAULT +Nothing. +.SH PROTOCOLS +Used for all protocols with headers or meta-data concept: HTTP, FTP, POP3, +IMAP, SMTP and more. +.SH EXAMPLE +.nf +static size_t header_callback(char *buffer, size_t size, + size_t nitems, void *userdata) +{ + /* received header is nitems * size long in 'buffer' NOT ZERO TERMINATED */ + /* 'userdata' is set with CURLOPT_HEADERDATA */ + return nitems * size; +} + +CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); +if(curl) { + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); + + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, header_callback); + + curl_easy_perform(curl); +} +.fi +.SH AVAILABILITY +Always +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_HEADERDATA "(3), " CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION "(3), "
