If i sent the request to webserver from client and i want to check
whether the webserver is working or not. Then CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT does not have any significance so as to check
whether webserver is working or not and if this is the case then which
is the method that will help me out to check whether webserver is
working or not.
