CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3)                    Library Functions Manual

NAME
       CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT - time allowed to wait for server
       response

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a long. Causes libcurl to set a timeout period (in seconds) on the
       amount of time that the server is allowed to take in order to send a
       response message for a command before the session is considered dead.
       While libcurl is waiting for a response, this value overrides
       CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3). It is recommended that if used in conjunction with
       CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3), you set CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3) to a
       value smaller than CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3).

       This option was formerly known as CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT.

DEFAULT
       None

PROTOCOLS
       FTP, IMAP, POP3, SCP, SFTP and SMTP

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/slow.txt");
           /* wait no more than 23 seconds */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT, 23L);
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.10.8. Used under this name since 7.20.0

       Support for SSH is predicated on a new enough (1.11.0) version of
       libssh2 being available when compiling libcurl.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. Returns
       CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT if set to a negative value or a value that
       when converted to milliseconds is too large.
