NAME¶
CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME - get the time until connect
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME, double *timep);
DESCRIPTION¶
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time in seconds from the start until the connection to the remote host (or proxy) was completed.
When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added together.
See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.
PROTOCOLS¶
This functionality affects all supported protocols
EXAMPLE¶
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    double connect;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(CURLE_OK == res) {
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME, &connect);
      if(CURLE_OK == res) {
        printf("Time: %.1f", connect);
      }
    }
    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
AVAILABILITY¶
