CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEFUNCTION \- write callback for HSTS hosts
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

struct curl_hstsentry {
  char *name;
  size_t namelen;
  unsigned int includeSubDomains:1;
  char expire[18]; /* YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS [null-terminated] */
};

struct curl_index {
  size_t index; /* the provided entry's "index" or count */
  size_t total; /* total number of entries to save */
};

CURLSTScode hstswrite(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts,
                      struct curl_index *count, void *clientp);

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEFUNCTION, hstswrite);

.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.

This callback function gets called by libcurl repeatedly to allow the
application to store the in\-memory HSTS cache when libcurl is about to discard
it.

Set the \fIclientp\fP argument with the \fICURLOPT_HSTSWRITEDATA(3)\fP option
or it is NULL.
When the callback is invoked, the \fIsts\fP pointer points to a populated
struct: Read the hostname to \(aqname\(aq (it is \fInamelen\fP bytes long and null
terminated. The \fIincludeSubDomains\fP field is non\-zero if the entry matches
subdomains. The \fIexpire\fP string is a date stamp null\-terminated string
using the syntax YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS.

The callback should return \fICURLSTS_OK\fP if it succeeded and is prepared to
be called again (for another host) or \fICURLSTS_DONE\fP if there is nothing
more to do. It can also return \fICURLSTS_FAIL\fP to signal error.

This option does not enable HSTS, you need to use \fICURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3)\fP to
do that.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL \- no callback.

    /* pass in suitable argument to the callback */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEDATA, &my_stuff);

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
