CURLOPT_COOKIE(3) libcurl CURLOPT_COOKIE(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_COOKIE - HTTP Cookie header
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, char *cookie);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used to
set one or more cookies in the HTTP request. The format of the string
should be NAME=CONTENTS, where NAME is the cookie name and CONTENTS is
what the cookie should contain.
To set multiple cookies, set them all using a single option concate-
nated like this: "name1=content1; name2=content2;" etc.
This option sets the cookie header explicitly in the outgoing
request(s). If multiple requests are done due to authentication, fol-
lowed redirections or similar, they all get this cookie passed on.
The cookies set by this option are separate from the internal cookie
storage held by the cookie engine and they are not be modified by it.
If you enable the cookie engine and either you have imported a cookie
of the same name (e.g. 'foo') or the server has set one, it has no
effect on the cookies you set here. A request to the server sends both
the 'foo' held by the cookie engine and the 'foo' held by this option.
To set a cookie that is instead held by the cookie engine and can be
modified by the server use CURLOPT_COOKIELIST(3).
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
previous ones.
This option does not enable the cookie engine. Use CURLOPT_COOK-
IEFILE(3) or CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3) to enable parsing and sending cookies
automatically.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.
DEFAULT
NULL, no cookies
