How can I set a language header for my cURL request? e.g. now I get the homepage of facebook.com in dutch, probably because my server is in the Netherlands / default language send by headers?..

I prefer english before dutch in this case so I tried to set an httpheader in curl but I make no sense? What do I do wrong or what should I have to set?

(zend notation)

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => 'Accept-Language: en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4',

Thanks in advance!

I arrived at this page looking for a way to pass the language header to curl at the command line. If you want to set headers in a bash one-liner, use -H Accept-Language

$ curl -s -H 'Accept-Language: es'  -XGET "http://www.google.com"
