You seem to also want libcurl-applications used in *separate processes* using
shared cookie handling? I think that's the key here.

SQLite is not what makes that work, it is having the cookie "engine" shared
between multiple processes. Like a "share object" that works across process
boundaries. Is it not? SQLite just happens to be one technical solution to
storage and you could achieve the same thing using something else.

Your focus on replacing the text file fooled me, since that's just how we
export cookies when closing a handle, and replacing that with something SQL
will not get you the above mentioned features. You don't seem to talk about
changing how cookies are exported when a handle is closed.

Do I understand this correctly?
