Storsjo pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed looked like: curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0); The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is 0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully not hit any existing users badly.
