CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT(3)   Library Functions Manual   CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT - force a new connection to be used

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, long fresh);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh)
       connection by force instead of trying to reuse an existing one. This
       option should be used with caution and only if you understand what it
       does as it may impact performance negatively.

       Related functionality is CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3) which makes sure the
       connection is closed after use so that it cannot be reused.

       Set fresh to 0 to have libcurl attempt reusing an existing connection
       (default behavior).

DEFAULT
       0

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1L);
           /* this transfer must use a new connection, not reuse an existing */
           curl_easy_perform(curl);
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in curl 7.7
