# NAME
CURLINFO_RETRY_AFTER - returns the Retry-After retry delay
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_RETRY_AFTER,

# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t variable to receive the number of seconds the
HTTP server suggests the client should wait until the next request is
issued. The information from the "Retry-After:" header.

or zero if there was no header or the header could not be parsed.

res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res == CURLE_OK) {
curl_off_t wait = 0;
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RETRY_AFTER, &wait);
if(wait)
printf("Wait for %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T " seconds\n", wait);
