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
written to stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so
if you for example follow a location it will make matching cookies 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.
