CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME,
                           double *timep);

Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the start until the SSL/SSH connect/handshake to the remote host was completed. This time is most often close to the CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME(3) time, except for cases such as HTTP pipelining where the pretransfer time can be delayed due to waits in line for the pipeline and more.

When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added together.

See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.

curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  double connect;
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
  res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  if(CURLE_OK == res) {
    res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME, &connect);
    if(CURLE_OK == res) {
      printf("Time: %.1f", connect);
    }
  }
  /* always cleanup */
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
