Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) connection by force instead of trying to re-use an existing one. This option should be used with caution and only if you understand what it does as it may seriously impact performance. Related functionality is \fICURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3)\fP which makes sure the connection is closed after use so that it will not be re-used. Set \fIfresh\fP to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an existing connection (default behavior). .SH DEFAULT 0 .SH PROTOCOLS Most .SH EXAMPLE .nf { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1L); /* this transfer must use a new connection, not reuse an existing */ curl_easy_perform(curl); } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Always .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE "(3), "
