NAME

       CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS - timeout for the connect phase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS, long timeout);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  long.  It should contain the maximum time in milliseconds that you allow the connection phase to
       the server to take.  This only limits the connection phase, it has no impact once it has  connected.  Set
       to   zero   to  switch  to  the  default  built-in  connection  timeout  -  300  seconds.  See  also  the
       CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) option.

       In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3) is set.

DEFAULT

       300000

         /* complete connection within 10000 milliseconds */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10000L);

         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }
