close policies

                               History of Changes

Daniel (13 March 2001)

- Added the policy stuff to the curl_easy_setopt man page for the two supported

  policies.

- Implemented some support for the CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY option. The policies

  CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED and CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST are now

  supported, and the "least recently used" is used as default if no policy

  is chosen.

Daniel (12 March 2001)

- Added CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE and CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET to libcurl for seeding the

  SSL random engine. The random seeding support was also brought to the curl

.SH SYNOPSIS

open connections to unnecessarily get closed. (Added in 7.7)

.B CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY

Pass a long. This must be one of the CURLCLOSEPOLICY_* defines. This is still

not supported as of this writing. (Added in 7.7)

Pass a long. This option sets what policy libcurl should use when the

connection cache is filled and one of the open connections has to be closed to

make room for a new connection. This must be one of the CURLCLOSEPOLICY_*

defines. Use CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED to make libcurl close the

connection that was least recently used, that connection is also least likely

to be capable of re-use. Use CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST to make libcurl close the

oldest connection, the one that was created first among the ones in the

connection cache. The other close policies are not support yet. (Added in 7.7)

.TP

.B CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT

Pass a long. Set to non-zero to make the next transfer use a new connection by
