CURLOPT_DOH_URL(3)         Library Functions Manual         CURLOPT_DOH_URL(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_DOH_URL - provide the DNS-over-HTTPS URL


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DOH_URL, char *URL);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass in a pointer to a URL for the DoH server to use for name
       resolving. The parameter should be a char pointer to a null-terminated
       string which must be a valid and correct HTTPS URL.

       libcurl does not validate the syntax or use this variable until the
       transfer is issued. Even if you set a crazy value here,
       curl_easy_setopt(3) still returns CURLE_OK.

       curl sends POST requests to the given DNS-over-HTTPS URL.

       To find the DoH server itself, which might be specified using a name,
       libcurl uses the default name lookup function. You can bootstrap that
       by providing the address for the DoH server with CURLOPT_RESOLVE(3).

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

       Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
       previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.


INHERIT OPTIONS

       DoH lookups use SSL and some SSL settings from your transfer are
       inherited, like CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION(3).

       The hostname and peer certificate verification settings are not
       inherited but can be controlled separately via
       CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3) and CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3).

       A set CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3) callback is not inherited.


KNOWN BUGS

       Even when DoH is set to be used with this option, there are still some
       name resolves that are performed without it, using the default name
       resolver mechanism. This includes name resolves done for
       CURLOPT_INTERFACE(3), CURLOPT_FTPPORT(3), a proxy type set to
       CURLPROXY_SOCKS4 or CURLPROXY_SOCKS5 and probably some more.


DEFAULT

       NULL


PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols


EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DOH_URL, "https://dns.example.com");
           curl_easy_perform(curl);
         }
       }


AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.62.0


RETURN VALUE

       curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

       CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred,
       see libcurl-errors(3).

       Note that curl_easy_setopt(3) does immediately parse the given string
       so when given a bad DoH URL, libcurl might not detect the problem until
       it later tries to resolve a name with it.
