CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION(3) libcurl CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION - start a new cookie session
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, long init);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long set to 1 to mark this as a new cookie "session". It forces
libcurl to ignore all cookies it is about to load that are "session
cookies" from the previous session. By default, libcurl always loads
all cookies, independent if they are session cookies or not. Session
cookies are cookies without expiry date and they are meant to be alive
and existing for this "session" only.
A "session" is usually defined in browser land for as long as you have
your browser up, more or less. libcurl needs the application to use
this option to tell it when a new session starts, otherwise it assumes
everything is still in the same session.
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS

/* get the (non session) cookies from this file */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookies.txt");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
