CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3)             libcurl            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
       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 re-use 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
       re-use (default behavior).

DEFAULT
       0

         curl_easy_perform(curl);
