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_COOKIEFILE - file name to read cookies from

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	pointer  to  a zero terminated string as parameter. It should point to the file name of your file holding cookie data to read. The
       cookie data can be in either the old Netscape / Mozilla cookie data format or just regular HTTP headers	(Set-Cookie  style)  dumped  to  a
       file.

       It also enables the cookie engine, making libcurl parse and send cookies on subsequent requests with this handle.

       Given  an  empty  or non-existing file or by passing the empty string ("") to this option, you can enable the cookie engine without reading
       any initial cookies.

       This option only reads cookies. To make libcurl write cookies to file, see CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3).

       Exercise caution if you are using this option and multiple transfers may occur.	If you use the	Set-Cookie  format  and  don't	specify  a
       domain  then  the  cookie  is  sent  for any domain (even after redirects are followed) and cannot be modified by a server-set cookie. If a
       server sets a cookie of the same name then both will be sent on a future transfer to that server, likely not what you intended.	To address
       these issues set a domain in Set-Cookie (doing that will include sub-domains) or use the Netscape format.

       If you use this option multiple times, you just add more files to read.	Subsequent files will add more cookies.

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