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¶

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