.SH NAME
CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD \- get the last used HTTP method
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD,
char **methodp);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective HTTP
method.
In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, the method may not be
the same method the first request would use.
The \fBmethodp\fP pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT
free \- it gets freed when you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP on the
corresponding CURL handle.
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only

.nf
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "data");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res == CURLE_OK) {
char *method = NULL;
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD, &method);
