NAME

       CURLINFO_RETRY_AFTER - returns the Retry-After retry delay

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_RETRY_AFTER,
                                  curl_off_t *retry);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer to a curl_off_t variable to receive the number of seconds the HTTP server
       suggests the client should wait until the next request is issued. The information from the
       "Retry-After:" header.

       While  the HTTP header might contain a fixed date string, the CURLINFO_RETRY_AFTER(3) will
       always return number of seconds to wait - or zero if there was no  header  or  the  header
       could not be parsed.

DEFAULT

       Returns zero delay if there was no header.

         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         if(res == CURLE_OK) {
           curl_off_t wait = 0;
           curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RETRY_AFTER, &wait);
           if(wait)
             printf("Wait for %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T " seconds\n", wait);
