How to use cURL to send cookies in a request?

To use cURL to send cookies in a request, you need to use the -b or --cookie option followed by the path to a file containing the cookies. Here are the steps to do it:

1. Create a text file (e.g., cookies.txt) containing the cookies in the following format: name1=value1; name2=value2; ...

2. Open a terminal or command prompt and use the following cURL command to send a request with the cookies:

Replace cookies.txt with the path to your cookie file, and <URL> with the desired URL.

3. The server will receive the request along with the cookies stored in the file.

Note: If the cookies are specific to a domain or a path, make sure the URL matches the domain and path specified in the cookies.

Additionally, you can also use the -c or --cookie-jar option to save received cookies to a file for future use. For example:

This saves the received cookies in the same file that is used to send the cookies.
