# CURLINFO\_RESPONSE\_CODE(3)

get the last response code

## NAME

CURLINFO\_RESPONSE\_CODE - get the last response code

## SYNOPSIS

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

## 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)](/CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE/3.md)* and not this.

## PROTOCOLS

HTTP, FTP, SMTP and LDAP

## EXAMPLE

```
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res == CURLE_OK) {
      long response_code;
      curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &response_code);
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
```

## AVAILABILITY

## RETURN VALUE
