Time and time again users realize that CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and CURLOPT_CONNECTIMEOUT are not sufficiently advanced or flexible to cover all the various use cases and scenarios applications end up with. libcurl offers many more ways to time-out operations. A common alternative is to use the CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT and CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME options to specify the lowest possible speed to accept before to consider the transfer timed out. The most flexible way is by writing your own time-out logic and using CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION (perhaps in combination with other callbacks) and use that to figure out exactly when the right condition is met when the transfer should get stopped. 6.
