CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME(3) Introduction to Library Functions CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME(3)

CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME - low speed limit time period

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME,


                          long speedtime);

Pass a long as parameter. It contains the time in number seconds that the transfer speed should be below the CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT(3) for the library to consider it too slow and abort.

  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    CURLcode res;


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");


    /* abort if slower than 30 bytes/sec during 60 seconds */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME, 60L);


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT, 30L);


    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    if(CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT == res) {


      printf("Timeout!\n");


    }


    /* always cleanup */


    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);


  }
}
