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 connection when done with the transfer.
       Normally, libcurl keeps all connections alive when done with  one  transfer  in  case  a  succeeding  one
       follows  that  can reuse them. This option should be used with caution and only if you understand what it
       does as it can seriously impact performance.

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

DEFAULT

       0

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           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);

           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.7
