# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION - start a new cookie session
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#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.
