# NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT - life-time for DNS cache entries
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~c
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, long age);

# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolve results are kept
|
||
|
|
in memory and used for this number of seconds. Set to zero to completely
|
||
|
|
disable caching, or set to -1 to make the cached entries remain forever. By
|
||
|
|
default, libcurl caches this info for 60 seconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We recommend users not to tamper with this option unless strictly necessary.
|
||
|
|
If you do, be careful of using large values that can make the cache size grow
|
||
|
|
significantly if many different hostnames are used within that timeout period.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The name resolve functions of various libc implementations do not re-read name
|
||
|
|
server information unless explicitly told so (for example, by calling
|
||
|
|
*res_init(3)*). This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even
|
||
|
|
if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue
|
||
|
|
to the casual libcurl-app user.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DNS entries have a "TTL" property but libcurl does not use that. This DNS
|
||
|
|
cache timeout is entirely speculative that a name resolves to the same address
|
||
|
|
for a small amount of time into the future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since version 8.1.0, libcurl prunes entries from the DNS cache if it exceeds
|
||
|
|
30,000 entries no matter which timeout value is used.
