NAME

       CURLINFO_COOKIELIST - get all known cookies

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST,
                                  struct curl_slist **cookies);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer  to  a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of all cookies curl knows (expired
       ones, too). Do not forget to call curl_slist_free_all(3) on the list after it has been used. If there are
       no  cookies  (cookies for the handle have not been enabled or simply none have been received) the 'struct
       curl_slist *' is made a NULL pointer.

       Since 7.43.0 cookies that were imported in the Set-Cookie format without a domain name are  not  exported
       by this option.

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

           /* enable the cookie engine */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "");

           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           if(!res) {
             /* extract all known cookies */
             struct curl_slist *cookies = NULL;
             res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, &cookies);
             if(!res && cookies) {
               /* a linked list of cookies in cookie file format */
               struct curl_slist *each = cookies;
               while(each) {
                 printf("%s\n", each->data);
                 each = each->next;
               }
               /* we must free these cookies when we are done */
               curl_slist_free_all(cookies);
             }
           }
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }
