CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3curl_easy_setopt optionCURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS - timeout for the connect phase
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS,
long timeout);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in milliseconds that
you allow 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 sec-
onds. See also the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(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
300000

curl_easy_perform(curl);
