.TH CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT 3 "12 May 2015" "libcurl 7.43.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT \- wait for pipelining/multiplexing
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT, long wait);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Set \fIwait\fP to 1L to tell libcurl to prefer to wait for a connection to
|
|
confirm or deny that it can do pipelining or multiplexing before continuing.
|
|
|
|
When about to perform a new transfer that allows pipelining or multiplexing,
|
|
libcurl will check for existing connections to re-use and pipeline on. If no
|
|
such connection exists it will immediately continue and create a fresh new
|
|
connection to use.
|
|
|
|
By setting this option to 1 - and having \fICURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3)\fP enabled
|
|
for the multi handle this transfer is associated with - libcurl will instead
|
|
wait for the connection to reveal if it is possible to pipeline/multiplex on
|
|
before it continues. This enables libcurl to much better keep the number of
|
|
connections to a minimum when using pipelining or multiplexing protocols.
|
|
|
|
The effect thus becomes that with this option set, libcurl prefers to wait and
|
|
re-use an existing connection for pipelining rather than the opposite: prefer
|
|
to open a new connection rather than waiting.
|
|
|
|
The waiting time is as long as it takes for the connection to get up and for
|
|
libcurl to get the necessary response back that informs it about its protocol
|
|
and support level.
