CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE 3 "May 31, 2017" "libcurl 7.58.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
NAME
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE - enable/disable global DNS cache
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, long enable);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If the enable value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS cache that will survive between easy handle creations and deletions. This is not thread-safe and this will use a global variable. WARNING: this option is considered obsolete. Stop using it. Switch over to using the share interface instead! See CURLOPT_SHARE(3) and curl_share_init(3).
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

 CURLcode ret;
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
 /* switch off the use of a global, thread unsafe, cache */
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, 0L);
 ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Subject for removal in the future. Do not use!
