CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options					 CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT - timeout for the connect phase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, long timeout);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection phase to the server to take.  This only limits the
       connection phase, it has no impact once it has connected. Set to zero to switch to the default built-in connection timeout -  300  seconds.
       See also the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) option.

       In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3) is set.

DEFAULT

       300

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

	 /* complete connection within 10 seconds */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10L);

	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }
