+.TH GNURLOPT_HEADEROPT 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_HEADEROPT \- set how to send HTTP headers
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <gnurl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, long bitmask);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a long that is a bitmask of options of how to deal with headers. The two
+mutually exclusive options are:
+
+\fBCURLHEADER_UNIFIED\fP - the headers specified in
+\fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP will be used in requests both to servers and
+proxies. With this option enabled, \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)\fP will not have
+any effect.
+
+\fBCURLHEADER_SEPARATE\fP - makes \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP headers only get
+sent to a server and not to a proxy. Proxy headers must be set with
+\fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)\fP to get used. Note that if a non-CONNECT request
+is sent to a proxy, libcurl will send both server headers and proxy
+headers. When doing CONNECT, libcurl will send \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3)\fP
+headers only to the proxy and then \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3)\fP headers only to
+the server.
+.SH DEFAULT
+CURLHEADER_SEPARATE (changed in 7.42.1, used CURLHEADER_UNIFIED before then)
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+HTTP
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+if(curl) {
+ CURLcode ret;
+ struct curl_slist *list;
+ list = curl_slist_append(NULL, "Shoesize: 10");
+ list = curl_slist_append(list, "Accept:");
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:8080");
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, list);
+
+ /* HTTPS over a proxy makes a separate CONNECT to the proxy, so tell
+ libcurl to not send the custom headers to the proxy. Keep them
+ separate! */
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, CURLHEADER_SEPARATE);
+ ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
+ curl_slist_free_all(list);
+ curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
+}
+.fi
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.37.0
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
