NAME

       CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT - force a new connection to be used

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, long fresh);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  long.  Set  to  1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) connection by force
       instead of trying to reuse an existing one. This option should be used  with  caution  and
       only if you understand what it does as it may impact performance negatively.

       Related functionality is CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3) which makes sure the connection is closed
       after use so that it cannot be reused.

       Set fresh to 0 to have libcurl attempt reusing an existing connection (default behavior).

DEFAULT

       0

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1L);
           /* this transfer must use a new connection, not reuse an existing */
           curl_easy_perform(curl);
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.7
