NAME

6       CURLINFO_COOKIELIST - get all known cookies
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST,
12                                  struct curl_slist **cookies);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass  a  pointer to a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of
16       all cookies curl knows  (expired  ones,  too).  Don't  forget  to  call
17       curl_slist_free_all(3)  on  the  list after it has been used.  If there
18       are no cookies (cookies for the handle have not been enabled or  simply
19       none  have been received) 'struct curl_slist *' will be set to point to
20       NULL.
21
22       Since 7.43.0 cookies that were imported in the Set-Cookie format  with‐
23       out a domain name are not exported by this option.

31         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
32
33         /* enable the cookie engine with a non-existing file */
34         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "-");
35
36         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
37
38         if(!res) {
39           /* extract all known cookies */
40           struct curl_slist *cookies = NULL;
41           res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, &cookies);
42           if(!res && cookies) {
43             /* a linked list of cookies in cookie file format */
44             struct curl_slist *each = cookies;
45             while(each) {
46               printf("%s", each->data);
47               each = each->next;
48             }
49             /* we must free these cookies when we're done */
50             curl_slist_free_all(cookies);
