CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) Introduction to Library Functions CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3)

CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS - maximum time the transfer is allowed to complete

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, long timeout);

Pass a long as parameter containing timeout - the maximum time in milliseconds that you allow the libcurl transfer operation to take.

See CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) for details.

Default timeout is 0 (zero) which means it never times out during transfer.
