CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3)	   Library Functions Manual    CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3)

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	reuse 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
       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

RETURN VALUE
       curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
