NAME

       CURLOPT_COOKIE - set contents of HTTP Cookie header

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, char *cookie);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer  to  a  zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to set a cookie in the HTTP
       request. The format of the string should be NAME=CONTENTS, where NAME is the cookie name and CONTENTS  is
       what the cookie should contain.

       If  you  need  to  set  multiple  cookies,  set  them  all  using a single option concatenated like this:
       "name1=content1; name2=content2;" etc.

       This option sets the cookie header explicitly in the outgoing request(s). 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
       CURLOPT_COOKIELIST(3).

       Using this option multiple times will only make the latest string override the previous ones.

       This option will not enable the cookie  engine.  Use  CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3)  or  CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)  to
       enable parsing and sending cookies automatically.
