NAME

CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE - use the SSL session-ID cache

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE,


                         long enabled);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long set to 0 to disable libcurl's use of SSL session-ID caching. Set this to 1 to enable it. By default all transfers are done using the cache enabled. While nothing ever should get hurt by attempting to reuse SSL session-IDs, there seem to be or have been broken SSL implementations in the wild that may require you to disable this in order for you to succeed.

DEFAULT

1

PROTOCOLS

All TLS-based

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    CURLcode res;


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");


    /* switch off session-id use! */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE, 0L);


    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);


  }
}

AVAILABILITY
