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-style headers 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 \fBreads\fP cookies. To make libcurl write cookies to file, +see \fICURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)\fP. + +If you use this option multiple times, you just add more files to read. +Subsequent files will add more cookies. +.SH DEFAULT +NULL +.SH PROTOCOLS +HTTP +.SH EXAMPLE +TODO +.SH AVAILABILITY +As long as HTTP is supported +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_COOKIE "(3), " CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR "(3), " |
