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

CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					      CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS - maximum number of redirects allowed

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	long.  The  set  number will be the redirection limit amount. If that many redirections have been followed, the next redirect will
       cause an error (CURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS). This option only makes sense if the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3) is used at the same time.

       Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect.

       Set it to -1 for an infinite number of redirects.

DEFAULT

       -1, unlimited

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP(S)

EXAMPLE

       curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/");

	 /* enable redirect following */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);

	 /* allow three redirects */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 3L);

	 /* Perform the request */
	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Along with HTTP

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
