NAME

       CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY - set the TCP_NODELAY option

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY, long nodelay);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  long specifying whether the TCP_NODELAY option is to be set or cleared (1 = set, 0 = clear). The
       option is cleared by default. This will have no effect after the connection has been established.

       Setting this option will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm. The purpose  of  this  algorithm  is  to  try  to
       minimize  the  number of small packets on the network (where "small packets" means TCP segments less than
       the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) for the network).

       Maximizing the amount of data sent per TCP segment is good because it amortizes the overhead of the send.
       However,  in  some  cases  small  segments may need to be sent without delay. This is less efficient than
       sending larger amounts of data at a time, and can contribute to congestion on the network if overdone.
