CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					     CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS - set maximum time the request is allowed to take SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, long timeout); DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter containing timeout - the maximum time in milliseconds that you allow the libcurl transfer operation to take. Nor- mally, name lookups can take a considerable time and limiting operations to less than a few minutes risk aborting perfectly normal opera- tions. This option may cause libcurl to use the SIGALRM signal to timeout system calls. If libcurl is built to use the standard system name resolver, that portion of the transfer will still use full-second resolution for time- outs with a minimum timeout allowed of one second. In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3) is set. If both CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) and CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) are set, the value set last will be used. Since this puts a hard limit for how long time a request is allowed to take, it has limited use in dynamic use cases with varying transfer times. You are then advised to explore CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT(3), CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME(3) or using CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3) to imple- ment your own timeout logic. DEFAULT
Default timeout is 0 (zero) which means it never times out during transfer. PROTOCOLS
All EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); /* complete within 20000 milliseconds */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, 20000L); curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Always RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK SEE ALSO

CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3) 			     curl_easy_setopt options				   CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST - verify the proxy certificate's name against host SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST, long verify); DESCRIPTION
Pass a long set to 2L as asking curl to verify in the HTTPS proxy's certificate name fields against the proxy name. This option determines whether libcurl verifies that the proxy cert contains the correct name for the name it is known as. When CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3) is 2, the proxy certificate must indicate that the server is the proxy to which you meant to connect to, or the connection fails. Curl considers the proxy the intended one when the Common Name field or a Subject Alternate Name field in the certificate matches the host name in the proxy string which you told curl to use. When the verify value is 1L, curl_easy_setopt will return an error and the option value will not be changed due to old legacy reasons. When the verify value is 0L, the connection succeeds regardless of the names used in the certificate. Use that ability with caution! See also CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) to verify the digital signature of the proxy certificate. If libcurl is built against NSS and CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is zero, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3) is also set to zero and cannot be overridden. DEFAULT
2 PROTOCOLS
All protocols when used over a HTTPS proxy. EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); /* Set the default value: strict name check please */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2L); curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.52.0. If built TLS enabled. RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. If 1 is set as argument, CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT is returned. SEE ALSO
