.TH CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT \- timeout for the connect phase
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, long timeout);
.SH 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
\fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3)\fP option.
In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless
\fICURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3)\fP is set.
If both \fICURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3)\fP
are set, the value set last will be used.
.SH DEFAULT
300

curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
