CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					    CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS - maximum connection cache size

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	long.  The  set amount will be the maximum number of simultaneously open persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool
       associated with this handle. The default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware of how this
       works and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connections using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.

       When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to prevent increasing the number of open connections.

       If  you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting a smaller CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) than before may cause open connec-
       tions to get closed unnecessarily.

       If you add this easy handle to a multi handle, this setting is not acknowledged, and you must  instead  use  curl_multi_setopt(3)  and  the
       CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) option.

DEFAULT

       5

NAME

       CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - set max number of connections to a single host

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS, long max);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a long to indicate max. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of simultaneously open connections to a single host (a host
       being the same as a host name + port number pair). For each new session to a host, libcurl will open a new connection up to the	limit  set
       by CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3). When the limit is reached, the sessions will be pending until a connection becomes available. If CURL-
       MOPT_PIPELINING(3) is enabled, libcurl will try to pipeline if the host is capable of it.

       The default max value is 0, unlimited.  However, for backwards compatibility, setting it to 0 when CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3) is 1 will not	be
       treated as unlimited. Instead it will open only 1 connection and try to pipeline on it.

       This set limit is also used for proxy connections, and then the proxy is considered to be the host for which this limit counts.

DEFAULT

       0
