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. It tells libcurl to wait no longer than timeout seconds for responses on sent commands. If no response is received within this period, the connection is considered dead and the transfer fails.

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¶

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 23 seconds */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT, 23L);


    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);


  }
}

AVAILABILITY¶

Added in curl 7.20.0

RETURN VALUE¶

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
