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.

CURLOPT_COOKIE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_COOKIE(3)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

Our network administrators implemented some sort of check to kill idle sessions and now burden is on us to run some sort of keep alive. Client based keep alive doesn't do a very good job. I have same issue with ssh. Does solution 2 provided above apply for ssh sessions also? (1 Reply)

Original post from this thread on browser caching.
To add to this, it is an effective security measure to clear absolutely all cached data (cookies, web content, ....) when closing the browser - i.e. in case of a shutdown. It takes a bit of work to re-login to all the sites but websites will not... (7 Replies)
