# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR - filename to store cookies to
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, char *filename);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a *filename* as a char *, null-terminated. This makes libcurl write
|
|
all internally known cookies to the specified file when
|
|
curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called. If no cookies are kept in memory at that
|
|
time, no file is created. Specify "-" as filename to instead have the cookies
|
|
written to stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so
|
|
if you for example follow a redirect it makes matching cookies get sent
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Note that libcurl does not read any cookies from the cookie jar specified with
|
|
this option. To read cookies from a file, use CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3).
|
|
|
|
If the cookie jar file cannot be created or written to (when the
|
|
curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called), libcurl does not and cannot report an
|
|
error for this. Using CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) or
|
|
CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) displays a warning, but that is the only
|
|
visible feedback you get about this possibly lethal situation.
|
|
|
|
Cookies are imported in the Set-Cookie format without a domain name are not
|
|
exported by this option.
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
option.

if(curl) {
|
|
CURLcode res;
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
|
|
|
|
/* export cookies to this file when closing the handle */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookies.txt");
|
|
|
|
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
|
|
/* close the handle, write the cookies! */
|
|
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
