What kind of odd path is that?

This makes libcurl attempt to read cookies from the given file name.

This make libcurl write cookies to this file when you close the handle.

If you have received cookies, they should be written to the given file. If you
don't use an absolute path, it'll use the "current directory" of the process
that use libcurl. I have no idea where that is.

If "\Z" means the root dir, then yes. But I don't know any operating system
that uses \Z to indicate that.

If you use a unix system, "/cookies.txt" would mean a file in the root dir.
