CURLOPT_SE...NSE_TIMEOUT(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_SE...NSE_TIMEOUT(3)

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.  It tells libcurl to wait no longer than timeout seconds for
     responses on sent commands. If no response is received within this  period,
     the connection is considered dead and the transfer fails.

     It  is recommended that if used in conjunction with CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3), you
     set  CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3)  to  a  value  smaller  than   CUR-
     LOPT_TIMEOUT(3).

DEFAULT
     60 seconds

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects ftp, imap, pop3, scp, sftp and smtp

EXAMPLE
     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;
	 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);
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }

HISTORY
     This option was formerly known as CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT.

AVAILABILITY
     Added in curl 7.20.0
