Use of cookies

Dear all,

I am trying to use cookie interface but I am probably missing something obvious.

What I do (note that I want to limit the cookies for each libCURL call to a minimum):
(...after the usual initialisation...)
I call:
- curl_easy_setopt([CURL_handle], CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, ""); >> to start-up the engine
- curl_easy_setopt([CURL_handle], CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "ALL"); >> to delete all existing cookies
- curl_easy_setopt([CURL_handle], CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, cookie); >> using a Netscape-like syntax for "cookie"
- curl_easy_perform([CURL_handle]); >> to launch the call
- curl_easy_getinfo([CURL_handle], CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, &cookie_list); >> to see what are the cookies recognised

What I see is:
- the list of cookies is ever growing and not being reset
- it never contains the cookies I set.

I would expect to see:
- only the list of cookies of the homepage I was calling
- my own cookie is part of the list.

I am pretty (!) sure the syntax of the cookie I am trying to set is correct, I even tried the one of the example of libCURL.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards
Morten.
