CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					      CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR - file name to store cookies to

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	filename  as  char  *,	zero  terminated.  This  will  make  libcurl write all internally known cookies to the specified file when
       curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created. Specify "-" as filename to instead have the cookies writ-
       ten to stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so if you for example follow a location it will make matching cook-
       ies get sent accordingly.

       Note that libcurl doesn't read any cookies from the cookie jar. If you want to read cookies from a file, use CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3).

       If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called), libcurl will  not  and	cannot	report	an
       error  for  this. Using CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) or CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) will get a warning to display, but that is the only visible feedback
       you get about this possibly lethal situation.

       Since 7.43.0 cookies that were 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.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP

EXAMPLE

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       Along with HTTP

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.

NAME

       CURLOPT_COOKIE - set contents of HTTP Cookie header

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, char *cookie);

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 CURLOPT_COOKIELIST(3).

       Using this option multiple times will only make the latest string override the previous ones.

       This option will not enable the cookie engine. Use CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3) or CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3) to  enable  parsing  and  sending  cookies
       automatically.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

       NULL, no cookies

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "tool=curl; fun=yes;");

	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       If HTTP is enabled

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
