# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_COOKIE - HTTP Cookie header
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, char *cookie);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used to set one
|
|
or more cookies 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.
|
|
|
|
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 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 they are not be modified by it. If you enable
|
|
the cookie engine and either you have imported a cookie of the same name
|
|
(e.g. 'foo') or the server has set one, it has no effect on the cookies you
|
|
set here. A request to the server sends 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 makes the last set string override the
|
|
previous ones.
|
|
|
|
This option does 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.
|
|
|
|
If libcurl is built with PSL (*Public Suffix List*) support, it detects and
|
|
discards cookies that are specified for such suffix domains that should not be
|
|
allowed to have cookies. If libcurl is *not* built with PSL support, it has no
|
|
ability to stop super cookies. PSL support is identified by the
|
|
**CURL_VERSION_PSL** feature bit returned by curl_version_info(3).
|
|
|
|
# DEFAULT
|
|
|
|
NULL, no cookies
