CURLOPT_WS_OPTIONS(3)      Library Functions Manual      CURLOPT_WS_OPTIONS(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_WS_OPTIONS - WebSocket behavior options


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WS_OPTIONS, long bitmask);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long with a bitmask to tell libcurl about specific WebSocket
       behaviors.

       To detach a WebSocket connection and use the curl_ws_send(3) and
       curl_ws_recv(3) functions after the HTTP upgrade procedure, set the
       CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3) option to 2L.

       Available bits in the bitmask

       CURLWS_RAW_MODE (1)
              Deliver "raw" WebSocket traffic to the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)
              callback.

              In raw mode, libcurl does not handle pings or any other frame
              for the application.


DEFAULT

       0
