.SH NAME

CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS \- max number of connections to a single host

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a long to indicate \fBmax\fP. The set number is used as the maximum amount
|
|
|
|
of simultaneously open connections to a single host (a host being the same as
|
|
|
|
a hostname + port number pair). For each new session to a host, libcurl might
|
2024-03-30 18:28:04 +00:00
|
|
|
open a new connection up to the limit set by \fICURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
When the limit is reached, new sessions are kept pending until a connection
|
|
|
|
becomes available.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default \fBmax\fP value is 0, unlimited. This set limit is also used for
|
|
|
|
proxy connections, and then the proxy is considered to be the host for which
|
|
|
|
this limit counts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When more transfers are added to the multi handle than what can be performed
|
|
|
|
due to the set limit, they are queued up waiting for their chance. When that
|
2024-03-30 18:28:04 +00:00
|
|
|
happens, the \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3)\fP timeout is inclusive of the waiting time,
|
|
|
|
meaning that if you set a too narrow timeout in such a case the transfer might
|
|
|
|
never even start before it times out.

|
|
|
|
2024-03-30 18:28:04 +00:00
|
|
|
Even in the queued up situation, the \fICURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3)\fP timeout is
|
|
|
|
however treated as a per\-connect timeout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changing this value when there are transfers in progress is possible, and the
|
|
|
|
new value is then used the next time checks are performed. Lowering the value
|
|
|
|
does however not close down any active transfers, it simply does not allow new
|
|
|
|
ones to get made.
