NAME

CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT - time allowed to wait for server response

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT,
long timeout);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long. Causes libcurl to set a timeout period (in seconds) 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(3) to a value smaller than CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) .

This option was formerly known as CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT.

DEFAULT

None

PROTOCOLS

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 23 seconds */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT, 23L);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
