# NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT - timeout for the connect phase
|
||
|
|
||
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
~~~c
|
||
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, long timeout);
|
||
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
Pass a long. It sets the maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection
|
||
|
phase to take. This timeout only limits the connection phase, it has no impact
|
||
|
once libcurl has connected. The connection phase includes the name resolve
|
||
|
(DNS) and all protocol handshakes and negotiations until there is an
|
||
|
established connection with the remote side.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set this option to zero to switch to the default built-in connection timeout -
|
||
|
300 seconds. See also the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3) is the same function but set in milliseconds.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If both CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3) and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3)
|
||
|
are set, the value set last is used.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The connection timeout is included in the general all-covering
|
||
|
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3):
|
||
|
|
||
|
With CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3) set to 3 and CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) set
|
||
|
to 5, the operation can never last longer than 5 seconds, and the connection
|
||
|
phase cannot last longer than 3 seconds.
|
||
|
|
||
|
With CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3) set to 4 and CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) set
|
||
|
to 2, the operation can never last longer than 2 seconds. Including the
|
||
|
connection phase.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This option may cause libcurl to use the SIGALRM signal to timeout system
|
||
|
calls on builds not using asynch DNS. In Unix-like systems, this might cause
|
||
|
signals to be used unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3) is set.

# RETURN VALUE
|
||
|

|
||
|
value or a value that when converted to milliseconds is too large.
