CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS(3) Library Functions Manual
NAME
CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS - time allowed to wait for server response
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS, long timeout);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. Causes libcurl to set a timeout period (in milliseconds) on the amount of time that the server is allowed to take in order to send a response message for a command before the session is considered dead. While libcurl is waiting for a response, this value overrides CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3). It is recommended that if used in conjunction with CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3), you set CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS(3) to a value smaller than CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3). The maximum accepted value is 2147483648. This is the millisecond version of CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3).
DEFAULT
None
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects ftp, imap, pop3, scp, sftp and smtp
EXAMPLE
int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/slow.txt"); /* wait no more than 237 milliseconds */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS, 237L); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } }
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 8.6.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. Returns CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT if set to a negative value or a value that when converted to milliseconds is too large.
