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.   Causes libcurl to set a timeout period (in seconds) on the amount of time
       that the server is allowed to take in order to send  a  response  message  for  a  command
       before  the  session  is  considered  dead.  While libcurl is waiting for a response, this
       value overrides CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3). It is recommended that if  used  in  conjunction  with
       CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3),  you  set  CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3)  to a value smaller than
       CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3).

       This option was formerly known as CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT.

DEFAULT

       None

PROTOCOLS

       FTP, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         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);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

RETURN VALUE

       Returns   CURLE_OK   if   supported,   and   CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION    if    not.    Returns
       CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT  if  set to a negative value or a value that when converted to
       milliseconds is too large.
