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

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

EXAMPLE

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

           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.20.0

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.
