CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT explained
Name
CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT - time allowed to wait for server response
Synopsis
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT, long timeout);
Description
Pass a long. Causes libcurl to set a timeout period (in seconds) on the amount of time that the server is allowed to take in order to send a response message for a command before the session is considered dead. While libcurl is waiting for a response, this value overrides CURLOPT_TIMEOUT. It is recommended that if used in conjunction with CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, you set CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT to a value smaller than CURLOPT_TIMEOUT.
This option was formerly known as CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT.
Default
None
Protocols
This functionality affects ftp, imap, pop3, scp, sftp and smtp
Example
int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/slow.txt"); /* wait no more than 23 seconds */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT, 23L); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } }
Availability
Added in curl 7.20.0

Returns CURLE_OK if supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. Returns CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT if set to a negative value or a value that when converted to milliseconds is too large.
