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
       "session 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.

DEFAULT
       0

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

         /* new "session", don't load session cookies */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, 1L);

         /* get the (non session) cookies from this file */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookies.txt");

         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
