.TH CURLINFO_COOKIELIST 3 "1 Sep 2015" libcurl libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLINFO_COOKIELIST \- get all known cookies
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST,
                           struct curl_slist **cookies);
.fi
.SH 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
\fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP 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.
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
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);
    }
