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);


  }
}
