CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE(3) Library Functions Manual
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
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS,
POP3S, SMTPS etc.
All TLS backends support this option.
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
Added in curl 7.16.0
