NAME
       CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE - make connection get closed at once after use

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, long close);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a  long. Set close to 1 to make libcurl explicitly close the con-
       nection when done with the transfer. Normally, libcurl keeps  all  con-
       nections  alive  when  done  with one transfer in case a succeeding one
       follows that can re-use them.  This option should be used with  caution
       and only if you understand what it does as it can seriously impact per-
       formance.

       Set to 0 to have libcurl keep the connection open  for  possible  later
       re-use (default behavior).

DEFAULT
       0

PROTOCOLS
       Most

EXAMPLE
       {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, 1L);
         curl_easy_perform(curl);

         /* this second transfer may not reuse the same connection */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Always

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK
