CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN explained
Name
CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN - TCP Fast Open
Synopsis
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN, long enable);
Description
Pass a long as parameter set to 1L to enable or 0 to disable.
TCP Fast Open (RFC7413) is a mechanism that allows data to be carried in the SYN and SYN-ACK packets and consumed by the receiving end during the initial connection handshake, saving up to one full round-trip time (RTT).
Beware: the TLS session cache does not work when TCP Fast Open is enabled. TCP Fast Open is also known to be problematic on or across certain networks.
