CURLINFO\_RESPONSE\_CODE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO\_RESPONSE\_CODE(3)

# [NAME](#NAME)

CURLINFO\_RESPONSE\_CODE - last response code

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, long *codep);
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received HTTP, FTP, SMTP or LDAP (OpenLDAP only) response code. This option was previously known as CURLINFO\_HTTP\_CODE in libcurl 7.10.7 and earlier. The stored value is zero if no server response code has been received.

Note that a proxy's CONNECT response should be read with [*CURLINFO\_HTTP\_CONNECTCODE(3)*](/man/os/curl/CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE.3) and not this.

# [PROTOCOLS](#PROTOCOLS)

This functionality affects ftp, http, ldap and smtp

```
int main(void)
{


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    CURLcode result;


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");


    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    if(result == CURLE_OK) {


      long response_code;


      curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &response_code);


    }


    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);


  }
}
```
