# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS - maximum connection cache size
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a long. The set *amount* is the maximum number of simultaneously open
|
|
persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool associated with this
|
|
handle. The default is 5, and there is not much point in changing this value
|
|
unless you are perfectly aware of how this works. This concerns connections
|
|
using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.
|
|
|
|
When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to
|
|
prevent increasing the number of open connections.
|
|
|
|
If you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting a
|
|
smaller CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) than before may cause open connections to
|
|
get closed unnecessarily.
|
|
|
|
If you add this easy handle to a multi handle, this setting is not
|
|
acknowledged, and you must instead use curl_multi_setopt(3) and the
|
|
CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) option.
