.TH CURLOPT_COOKIELIST 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.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 will also enable the
cookie engine. This adds that single cookie to the internal cookie store.
If you use the Set-Cookie format and don't specify a domain then the cookie
is sent for any domain and will not be modified. If a server sets a cookie of
the same name (or maybe you've imported one) then both will be sent on a future
transfer to that server, likely not what you intended. Either set a domain in
Set-Cookie (doing that will include sub domains) or use the Netscape format as
shown in EXAMPLE.
Starting in 7.43.0 the aforementioned any-domain cookies will not appear in the
lists exported by \fICURLINFO_COOKIELIST(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)\fP.
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
/* This example shows an inline import of a cookie in Netscape format.
You can set the cookie as HttpOnly to prevent XSS attacks by prepending
#HttpOnly_ to the hostname. That may be useful if the cookie will later
be imported by a browser.
*/
#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 will 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 won't be 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 */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl); /* cookies imported from cookies.txt */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl); /* cookies exported to cookies.txt */
.fi
