CURLINFO_COOKIELIST - get all known cookies

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST,

struct curl_slist **cookies);

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) 'struct curl_slist *' will be set to point to NULL.

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

HTTP(S)

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {

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); }

Added in 7.14.1

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
