.SH NAME
|
|
curl_multi_setopt \- set options for a curl multi handle
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM * multi_handle, CURLMoption option, param);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
curl_multi_setopt() is used to tell a libcurl multi handle how to behave. By
|
|
using the appropriate options to \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP, you can change
|
|
libcurl's behaviour when using that multi handle. All options are set with
|
|
the \fIoption\fP followed by the parameter \fIparam\fP. That parameter can be
|
|
a \fBlong\fP, a \fBfunction pointer\fP, an \fBobject pointer\fP or a
|
|
\fBcurl_off_t\fP type, depending on what the specific option expects. Read
|
|
this manual carefully as bad input values may cause libcurl to behave badly!
|
|
You can only set one option in each function call.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION
|
|
Pass a pointer to a function matching the \fBcurl_socket_callback\fP
|
|
prototype. The \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP function informs the
|
|
application about updates in the socket (file descriptor) status by doing
|
|
none, one, or multiple calls to the curl_socket_callback given in the
|
|
\fBparam\fP argument. They update the status with changes since the previous
|
|
time a \fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP function was called. If the given callback
|
|
pointer is NULL, no callback will be called. Set the callback's \fBuserp\fP
|
|
argument with \fICURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA\fP. See \fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP for
|
|
more callback details.
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA
|
|
Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed to the \fBcurl_socket_callback\fP's
|
|
fourth argument, the userp pointer. This is not used by libcurl but only
|
|
passed-thru as-is. Set the callback pointer with
|
|
\fICURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION\fP.
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
|
|
Pass a long set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Enabling pipelining on a multi
|
|
handle will make it attempt to perform HTTP Pipelining as far as possible for
|
|
transfers using this handle. This means that if you add a second request that
|
|
can use an already existing connection, the second request will be \&"piped"
|
|
on the same connection rather than being executed in parallel. (Added in
|
|
7.16.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION
|
|
Pass a pointer to a function matching the \fBcurl_multi_timer_callback\fP
|
|
prototype: int curl_multi_timer_callback(CURLM *multi /* multi handle */,
|
|
long timeout_ms /* timeout in milliseconds */, void *userp /* TIMERDATA */).
|
|
This function will then be called when the timeout value
|
|
changes. The timeout value is at what latest time the application should call
|
|
one of the \&"performing" functions of the multi interface
|
|
(\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP and \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP) - to allow
|
|
libcurl to keep timeouts and retries etc to work. A timeout value of -1 means
|
|
that there is no timeout at all, and 0 means that the timeout is already
|
|
reached. Libcurl attempts to limit calling this only when the fixed future
|
|
timeout time actually changes. See also \fICURLMOPT_TIMERDATA\fP. The callback
|
|
should return 0 on success, and -1 on error. This
|
|
callback can be used instead of, or in addition to,
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP. (Added in 7.16.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA
|
|
Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed to the
|
|
\fBcurl_multi_timer_callback\fP's third argument, the userp pointer. This is
|
|
not used by libcurl but only passed-thru as-is. Set the callback pointer with
|
|
\fICURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION\fP. (Added in 7.16.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS
|
|
Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of
|
|
simultaneously open connections that libcurl may keep in its connection cache
|
|
after completed use. By default libcurl will enlarge the size for each added
|
|
easy handle to make it fit 4 times the number of added easy handles.
|
|
|
|
By setting this option, you can prevent the cache size from growing beyond the
|
|
limit set by you.
|
|
|
|
When the cache is full, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to prevent the
|
|
number of open connections from increasing.
|
|
|
|
This option is for the multi handle's use only, when using the easy interface
|
|
you should instead use the \fICURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)\fP option.
|
|
|
|
See \fICURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS\fP for limiting the number of active
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.16.3)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS
|
|
Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of
|
|
simultaneously open connections to a single host. For each new session to
|
|
a host, libcurl will open a new connection up to the limit set by
|
|
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS. When the limit is reached, the sessions will
|
|
be pending until there are available connections. If CURLMOPT_PIPELINING is
|
|
1, libcurl will try to pipeline if the host is capable of it.
|
|
|
|
The default value is 0, which means that there is no limit.
|
|
However, for backwards compatibility, setting it to 0 when CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
|
|
is 1 will not be treated as unlimited. Instead it will open only 1 connection
|
|
and try to pipeline on it.
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.30.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH
|
|
Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of requests
|
|
in a pipelined connection. When this limit is reached, libcurl will use another
|
|
connection to the same host (see CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS), or queue the
|
|
requests until one of the pipelines to the host is ready to accept a request.
|
|
Thus, the total number of requests in-flight is CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS *
|
|
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH.
|
|
The default value is 5.
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.30.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE
|
|
Pass a long. If a pipelined connection is currently processing a request
|
|
with a Content-Length larger than CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE, that
|
|
connection will not be considered for additional requests, even if it is
|
|
shorter than CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH.
|
|
The default value is 0, which means that the penalization is inactive.
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.30.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE
|
|
Pass a long. If a pipelined connection is currently processing a
|
|
chunked (Transfer-encoding: chunked) request with a current chunk length
|
|
larger than CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE, that connection will not be
|
|
considered for additional requests, even if it is shorter than
|
|
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH.
|
|
The default value is 0, which means that the penalization is inactive.
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.30.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL
|
|
Pass an array of char *, ending with NULL. This is a list of sites that are
|
|
blacklisted from pipelining, i.e sites that are known to not support HTTP
|
|
pipelining. The array is copied by libcurl.
|
|
|
|
The default value is NULL, which means that there is no blacklist.
|
|
|
|
Pass a NULL pointer to clear the blacklist.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
site_blacklist[] =
|
|
{
|
|
"www.haxx.se",
|
|
"www.example.com:1234",
|
|
NULL
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_PIPELINE_SITE_BL, site_blacklist);
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.30.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL
|
|
Pass an array of char *, ending with NULL. This is a list of server types
|
|
prefixes (in the Server: HTTP header) that are blacklisted from pipelining,
|
|
i.e server types that are known to not support HTTP pipelining. The array is
|
|
copied by libcurl.
|
|
|
|
Note that the comparison matches if the Server: header begins with the string
|
|
in the blacklist, i.e "Server: Ninja 1.2.3" and "Server: Ninja 1.4.0" can
|
|
both be blacklisted by having "Ninja" in the backlist.
|
|
|
|
The default value is NULL, which means that there is no blacklist.
|
|
|
|
Pass a NULL pointer to clear the blacklist.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
server_blacklist[] =
|
|
{
|
|
"Microsoft-IIS/6.0",
|
|
"nginx/0.8.54",
|
|
NULL
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_PIPELINE_SERVER_BL, server_blacklist);
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.30.0)
|
|
.IP CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS
|
|
Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of
|
|
simultaneously open connections in total. For each new session, libcurl
|
|
will open a new connection up to the limit set by
|
|
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS. When the limit is reached, the sessions will
|
|
be pending until there are available connections. If CURLMOPT_PIPELINING is
|
|
1, libcurl will try to pipeline if the host is capable of it.
|
|
|
|
The default value is 0, which means that there is no limit.
|
|
However, for backwards compatibility, setting it to 0 when CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
|
|
is 1 will not be treated as unlimited. Instead it will open only 1 connection
|
|
and try to pipeline on it.
|
|
|
|
(Added in 7.30.0)
|
|
.SH RETURNS
|
|
The standard CURLMcode for multi interface error codes. Note that it returns a
|
|
CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION if you try setting an option that this version of libcurl
|
|
doesn't know of.
