CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE explained
Name
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE - global DNS cache
Synopsis
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, long enable);
Description
Has no function since 7.62.0. Do not use.
Pass a long. If the enable value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS cache that survives between easy handle creations and deletions. This is not thread-safe and this uses a global variable.
See CURLOPT_SHARE and curl_share_init for the correct way to share DNS cache between transfers.
Default
0
Protocols
This functionality affects all supported protocols
Example
int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { 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); } }
Deprecated
Deprecated since 7.11.1. Functionality removed in 7.62.0.

Added in curl 7.9.3
