Name

Synopsis

Description

NAME
       CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT - force a new connection to be used

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, long fresh);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) con-
       nection 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 CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3) which makes  sure  the
       connection is closed after use so that it will not be re-used.

       Set  fresh to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an existing connection
       (default behavior).

DEFAULT
       0

PROTOCOLS
       Most

         /* this transfer must use a new connection, not reuse an existing */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }
