CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT(3)         libcurl        CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT - life-time for cached certificate stores

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT, long age);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a  long, this sets the timeout in seconds. This tells libcurl the
       maximum time any cached certificate store it has in memory may be  kept
       and  reused for new connections. Once the timeout has expired, a subse-
       quent fetch requiring a certificate has to reload it.

       Building a certificate store from a CURLOPT_CAINFO(3) file  is  a  slow
       operation  so curl may cache the generated certificate store internally
       to speed up future connections.

       Set to zero to completely disable caching, or set to -1 to  retain  the
       cached  store  remain forever. By default, libcurl caches this info for
       24 hours.

DEFAULT
       86400 (24 hours)

PROTOCOLS
       All

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");

         /* only reuse certificate stores for a short time */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT, 60L);

         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

         /* in this second request, the cache is not used if more than
            sixty seconds passed since the previous connection */
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       This option was added in curl 7.87.0.

       Currently the only SSL backend  to  implement  this  certificate  store
       caching functionality is the OpenSSL (and forks) backend.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK
