# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT - wait for multiplexing
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT, long wait);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Set *wait* to 1L to tell libcurl to prefer to wait for a connection to
|
|
confirm or deny that it can do multiplexing before continuing.
|
|
|
|
When about to perform a new transfer that allows multiplexing, libcurl checks
|
|
for existing connections to use. If no such connection exists it immediately
|
|
continues and creates a fresh new connection to use.
|
|
|
|
By setting this option to 1 - and having CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3) enabled
|
|
for the multi handle this transfer is associated with - libcurl instead waits
|
|
for the connection to reveal if it is possible to multiplex on before it
|
|
continues. This enables libcurl to much better keep the number of connections
|
|
to a minimum when using multiplexing protocols.
|
|
|
|
With this option set, libcurl prefers to wait and reuse an existing connection
|
|
for multiplexing rather than the opposite: prefer to open a new connection
|
|
rather than waiting.
|
|
|
|
The waiting time is as long as it takes for the connection to get up and for
|
|
libcurl to get the necessary response back that informs it about its protocol
|
|
and support level.
