NAME

6       CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT - force a new connection to be used
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode  curl_easy_setopt(CURL  *handle,  CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT,  long
12       fresh);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh)  con‐
16       nection by force instead of trying to re-use an existing one.  This op‐
17       tion should be used with caution and only if  you  understand  what  it
18       does as it may seriously impact performance.
19
20       Related  functionality  is CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3) which makes sure the
21       connection is closed after use so that it won't be re-used.
22
23       Set fresh to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an existing  connection
24       (default behavior).
