# NAME
CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET - unmet time conditional or 304 HTTP response
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET,
long *unmet);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided in
the previous request did not match (see CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)). Alas,
if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you did not get data in return is
because it did not fulfill the condition. The long this argument points to
gets a zero stored if the condition instead was met. This can also return 1 if
the server responded with a 304 HTTP status code, for example after sending a
custom "If-Match-*" header.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode result;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);
/* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);
/* Perform the request */
result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(result == CURLE_OK) {
/* check the time condition */
long unmet;
result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, &unmet);
if(result == CURLE_OK) {
printf("The time condition was %sfulfilled\n", unmet ? "NOT" : "");
}
}
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_getinfo(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).
