.SH NAME
CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET \- get info on unmet time conditional or 304 HTTP response.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET,
                           long *unmet);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided in
the previous request did not match (see \fICURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)\fP). 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.
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;

    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,
                     (long)CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);

    /* Perform the request */
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(!res) {
      /* check the time condition */
      long unmet;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, &unmet);
      if(!res) {
        printf("The time condition was %sfulfilled\\n", unmet?"NOT":"");
      }
