Re: libcurl (cookies across cURL session). . .?

Robert, Thanks. The thing is that lots of cookies are set regularly. Are you suggesting that every time I receive a "Set-Cookie:" to 1)parse that line out 2)append it to a file 3) retrieve it when necessary? I'm not terribly familiar with the proper format for a cookie, but I'll look into it. I'd appreciate *any* insights you have. Regards, Mike On Sep 23, 2006, at 2:28 AM, Robert Cummings wrote:

Hi all, Is there any way at all by which to persist cookies across cURL sessions? Basically I have a login page that sets cookies and looks for them for "logged in" status so that the user may use the site to their heart's content. The problem with cURL, however, appears that after the initial login, any further attempts are foiled by the fact that the cookies don't remain. How exactly should I go about doing this?

You should be able to retrieve the cookies from the response headers. Then you just need to resend them. There may be an option for cURL to do this automatically. Search for cookie at the following link (check the user comments also):
