CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3) libcurl CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3)
NAME
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - 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 is 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 might open a new connection up to the limit set by
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3). When the limit is reached, new ses-
sions are kept pending until a connection becomes available.
The default max value is 0, unlimited. This set limit is also used for
proxy connections, and then the proxy is considered to be the host for
which this limit counts.
When more transfers are added to the multi handle than what can be per-
formed due to the set limit, they are queued up waiting for their
chance. When that happens, the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) timeout is inclu-
sive of the waiting time, meaning that if you set a too narrow timeout
in such a case the transfer might never even start before it times out.
Even in the queued up situation, the CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3) time-
out is however treated as a per-connect timeout.
DEFAULT
0
