Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) connection by force instead of trying to re-use an existing one.

Related functionality is \fICURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3)\fP which makes sure the connection is closed after use so that it won't be re-used. Set \fIfresh\fP to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an existing connection (default behavior). .SH DEFAULT 0 .SH PROTOCOLS Most .SH EXAMPLE TODO .SH AVAILABILITY Always .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE "(3), "
