NAME

CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN - use NPN

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN, long npn);

DESCRIPTION

Deprecated since 7.86.0. Setting this option has no function.

Pass a long as parameter, 0 or 1 where 1 is for enable and 0 for disable. This option enables/disables NPN in the SSL handshake (if the SSL backend libcurl is built to use supports it), which can be used to negotiate http2.

DEFAULT

1, enabled
