CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT - timeout for the connect phase
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, long timeout);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in seconds that you al-
low the connection phase to the server to take. This only limits the
connection phase, it has no impact once it has connected. Set to zero
to switch to the default built-in connection timeout - 300 seconds. See
also the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) option.
In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless CUR-
LOPT_NOSIGNAL(3) is set.
If both CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3) and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3) are
set, the value set last will be used.
DEFAULT
300
PROTOCOLS

curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
