If multiple requests are done due to authentication, followed redirections or similar, they will 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 will not be modified by it. If you enable the +cookie engine and either you've imported a cookie of the same name (e.g. 'foo') +or the server has set one, it will have no effect on the cookies you set here. +A request to the server will send 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 +\fICURLOPT_COOKIELIST(3)\fP. + Using this option multiple times will only make the latest string override the previous ones. |
