CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT(3) NAME
CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT - force a new connection to be used SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, long fresh); DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) connection by force instead of trying to re-use an existing one. This option should be used with caution and only if you understand what it does as it may seriously impact performance. Related functionality is CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3) which makes sure the connection is closed after use so that it won't be re-used. Set fresh to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an existing connection (default behavior). DEFAULT

CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS(3) curl_easy_getinfo options CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS(3) NAME
CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS - get number of created connections SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, long *nump); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are counted). Combined with CURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT(3) you are able to know how many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See the connection options of curl_easy_setopt(3) to see how libcurl tries to make persistent connections to save time. PROTOCOLS
