No, the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option only reads cookies from the given file and
activates the cookie parser, it doesn't write any files at all. So if it
doesn't find the given file to read from, it only activates the cookie
parser.

If you want to write cookies, two options would be to either the COOKIEJAR
function or doing it yourself with the HEADERFUNCTION callback.
