.SH NAME
curl_easy_setopt \- set options for a curl easy handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP is used at the same time. Added in 7.15.1:
Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect. Set it to -1 for
an infinite number of redirects (which is the default)
-.IP CURLOPT_POST301
+.IP CURLOPT_POSTREDIR
A parameter set to 1 tells the library to respect RFC 2616/10.3.2 and not
convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection. The
non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the
conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may requires
a POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful
only when setting \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP. (Added in 7.17.1)
+(This option was known as CURLOPT_POST301 up to 7.19.0)
.IP CURLOPT_PUT
A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The
data should be set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP and \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP.
