.TH CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT \- timeout for the connect phase
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, long timeout);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. It should contain the maximum time in seconds that you allow the
connection phase to the server to take.  This only limits the connection
phase, it has no impact once it has connected. Set to zero to switch to the
default built-in connection timeout - 300 seconds. See also the
\fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3)\fP option.

In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless
\fICURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3)\fP is set.

.TH CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR \- file name to store cookies to
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, char *filename);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a \fIfilename\fP as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl write
all internally known cookies to the specified file when
\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be
created. Specify "-" as filename to instead have the cookies written to
stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so if you for
example follow a location it will make matching cookies get sent accordingly.

Note that libcurl doesn't read any cookies from the cookie jar. If you want to
read cookies from a file, use \fICURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3)\fP.

If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the
\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called), libcurl will not and cannot report an
error for this. Using \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE(3)\fP or
\fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)\fP will get a warning to display, but that is the
only visible feedback you get about this possibly lethal situation.

.TH CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT \- set life-time for DNS cache entries
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, long age);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolves will be kept in
memory and used for this number of seconds. Set to zero to completely disable
caching, or set to -1 to make the cached entries remain forever. By default,
libcurl caches this info for 60 seconds.

The name resolve functions of various libc implementations don't re-read name
server information unless explicitly told so (for example, by calling
\fIres_init(3)\fP). This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even
if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue
to the casual libcurl-app user.

Note that DNS entries have a "TTL" property but libcurl doesn't use that. This
DNS cache timeout is entirely speculative that a name will resolve to the same
address for a certain small amount of time into the future.

.TH CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE \- enable/disable global DNS cache
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE,
                          long enable);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If the \fIenable\fP value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS
cache that will survive between easy handle creations and deletions. This is
not thread-safe and this will use a global variable.

\fBWARNING:\fP this option is considered obsolete. Stop using it. Switch over
to using the share interface instead! See \fICURLOPT_SHARE(3)\fP and
\fIcurl_share_init(3)\fP.
