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.
