.TH CURLOPT_COOKIELIST 3 "19 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_COOKIELIST \- add to or manipulate cookies held in memory
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST,
|
|
char *cookie);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a char * to a \fIcookie\fP string.
|
|
|
|
Such a cookie can be either a single line in Netscape / Mozilla format or just
|
|
regular HTTP-style header (Set-Cookie: ...) format. This option also enables
|
|
the cookie engine. This adds that single cookie to the internal cookie store.
|
|
|
|
We strongly advice against loading cookies from a HTTP header file, as that is
|
|
an inferior data exchange format.
|
|
|
|
Exercise caution if you are using this option and multiple transfers may
|
|
occur. If you use the Set-Cookie format and the string does not 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 (or maybe you have imported one) then both are sent on
|
|
future transfers to that server, likely not what you intended. To address
|
|
these issues set a domain in Set-Cookie (doing that includes subdomains) or
|
|
much better: use the Netscape file format.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, there are commands available that perform actions if you pass in
|
|
these exact strings:
|
|
.IP ALL
|
|
erases all cookies held in memory
|
|
|
|
.IP SESS
|
|
erases all session cookies held in memory
|
|
|
|
.IP FLUSH
|
|
writes all known cookies to the file specified by \fICURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)\fP
|
|
|
|
.IP RELOAD
|
|
loads all cookies from the files specified by \fICURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3)\fP
|
|
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
NULL
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
|
HTTP
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
.nf
|
|
/* an inline import of a cookie in Netscape format. */
|
|
|
|
#define SEP "\\t" /* Tab separates the fields */
|
|
|
|
char *my_cookie =
|
|
"example.com" /* Hostname */
|
|
SEP "FALSE" /* Include subdomains */
|
|
SEP "/" /* Path */
|
|
SEP "FALSE" /* Secure */
|
|
SEP "0" /* Expiry in epoch time format. 0 == Session */
|
|
SEP "foo" /* Name */
|
|
SEP "bar"; /* Value */
|
|
|
|
/* my_cookie is imported immediately via CURLOPT_COOKIELIST. */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, my_cookie);
|
|
|
|
/* The list of cookies in cookies.txt are not be imported until right
|
|
before a transfer is performed. Cookies in the list that have the same
|
|
hostname, path and name as in my_cookie are skipped. That is because
|
|
libcurl has already imported my_cookie and it's considered a "live"
|
|
cookie. A live cookie is not replaced by one read from a file.
|
|
*/
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookies.txt"); /* import */
|
|
|
|
/* Cookies are exported after curl_easy_cleanup is called. The server
|
|
may have added, deleted or modified cookies by then. The cookies that
|
|
were skipped on import are not exported.
|
|
*/
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookies.txt"); /* export */
|
|
