CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT: the new name
Starting now, CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT is the alias instead of the
other way around.

Since 7.20.0, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT has existed as an alias
but since the option is for more protocols than FTP the more "correct"
version of the option is the "server" one so now we switch.

Closes #9104

.TH CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT \- time allowed to wait for server response
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT,
long timeout);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. Causes libcurl to set a \fItimeout\fP period (in seconds) on the
amount of time that the server is allowed to take in order to send a response
message for a command before the session is considered dead. While libcurl is
waiting for a response, this value overrides \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3)\fP. It is
recommended that if used in conjunction with \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3)\fP, you set
\fICURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3)\fP to a value smaller than
\fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3)\fP.
This option was formerly known as \fBCURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT\fP.
.SH DEFAULT
None
.SH PROTOCOLS
FTP, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/slow.txt");
/* wait no more than 23 seconds */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT, 23L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.10.8. Used under this name since 7.20.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. Returns
CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT if set to a negative value or a value that when
converted to milliseconds is too large.
