CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION(3) curl_easy_setopt options 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 will
force libcurl to ignore all cookies it is about to load that are "ses-
sion cookies" from the previous session. By default, libcurl always
stores and 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.
DEFAULT
0

/* get the (non session) cookies from this file */
