NAME

CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_ALPN - Application Layer Protocol Negotiation  

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_ALPN, long npn);

 

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter, 0 or 1 where 1 is for enable and 0 for disable. This option enables/disables ALPN in the SSL handshake (if the SSL backend libcurl is built to use supports it), which can be used to negotiate http2.  

DEFAULT

1, enabled  

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

All TLS backends support this option.

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_ALPN, 0L);
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

 

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.36.0
