NAME

CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE - TCP keep-alive probing

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, long probe);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long. If set to 1, TCP keepalive probes are used. The delay and frequency of these probes can be controlled by the CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE(3) and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL(3) options, provided the operating system supports them. Set to 0 (default behavior) to disable keepalive probes

DEFAULT

0

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {

    /* enable TCP keep-alive for this transfer */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1L);

    /* keep-alive idle time to 120 seconds */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE, 120L);

    /* interval time between keep-alive probes: 60 seconds */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL, 60L);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}
