CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS(3)                 Library Functions Manual

NAME
       CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS - time allowed to wait for server
       response

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a long. Causes libcurl to set a timeout period (in milliseconds)
       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_MS(3) to a
       value smaller than CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3).

       The maximum accepted value is 2147483648.

       This is the millisecond version of CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3).

DEFAULT
       None

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects 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 237 milliseconds */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS, 237L);
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in curl 8.6.0

RETURN VALUE
       curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

       CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred,
       see libcurl-errors(3).
