NAME

       CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS - timeout for the connect phase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a long. It should contain the maximum time in milliseconds that you allow the connection phase to the server to take.  This only lim-
       its 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_MS(3) option.

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

       300000
