Hackerone Curl Extension Curl Options?

Referencing this extension

I need to submit a cURL request and only take the HTTP_CODE as the response.

I am seeing curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) out there, and this works at the command line curl -sO -w "%{http_code}" URL, but it is a bit unclear how to set the option in the wrapper provided by hackerone.

$output = Yii::app()->curl->setOption($name, $value)->get($url);

This suggests that $name and $value (A A-V pair) are PHP variables?

Thanks in advance for responses.

Not sure exactly but I have had some success with this… I had to set the HTTP HEADER (curl -H "Authorization:23942340324"…

$auth = array('Authorization:'.$token);

$jsonObject = Yii::app()->curl->setOption(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $auth)->get($url);
