.TH CURLOPT_COOKIE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_COOKIE \- set contents of HTTP Cookie header
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, char *cookie);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to
|
|
set a cookie 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.
|
|
|
|
If you need to set multiple cookies, set them all using a single option
|
|
concatenated 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, followed redirections or
|
|
similar, they will 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 will not be modified by it. If you enable the
|
|
cookie engine and either you've imported a cookie of the same name (e.g. 'foo')
|
|
or the server has set one, it will have no effect on the cookies you set here.
|
|
A request to the server will send 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
|
|
\fICURLOPT_COOKIELIST(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
Using this option multiple times will only make the latest string override the
|
|
previous ones.
|
|
|
|
This option will not enable the cookie engine. Use \fICURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3)\fP
|
|
or \fICURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)\fP to enable parsing and sending cookies
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
option.
|
|

|
|
NULL, no cookies
