.SH NAME

CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- set connection cache size

CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- maximum connection cache size

.SH SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);

.SH DESCRIPTION

Pass a long. The set number will be the persistent connection cache size. The

set \fIamount\fP will be the maximum amount of simultaneously open connections

that libcurl may cache in cache associated with this handle. Default is 5, and

there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware

of how this works and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connections

using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.

Pass a long. The set \fIamount\fP will be the maximum number of simultaneously

open persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool associated with

this handle. The default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this

value unless you are perfectly aware of how this works and changes libcurl's

behaviour. This concerns connections using any of the protocols that support

persistent connections.

When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to

prevent increasing the number of open connections.
