Is there a way to tell curl to not use cache

Question

I am trying to find out file size of an url:

$url1 = \'www.google.com\';
$curl1 = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_URL, $url1); 
curl_setopt($curl1, CURL         


        

Answer 1

curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1); // don't use a cached version of the url

CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT TRUE to force use of a new connection instead of a cached one.

check example here

you can set header

$headers = array( 
                 "Cache-Control: no-cache", 
                ); 
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
