CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3) curl_multi_setopt options
NAME
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - set max number of connections to a
single host
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle,
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS, long max);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long to indicate max. The set number will be used as the maximum
amount of simultaneously open connections to a single host (a host
being the same as a host name + port number pair). For each new session
to a host, libcurl will open a new connection up to the limit set by
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3). When the limit is reached, the
sessions will be pending until a connection becomes available. If
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3) is enabled, libcurl will try to pipeline if the
host is capable of it.
The default max value is 0, unlimited. However, for backwards
compatibility, setting it to 0 when CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3) is 1 will
not be treated as unlimited. Instead it will open only 1 connection and
try to pipeline on it.
This set limit is also used for proxy connections, and then the proxy
is considered to be the host for which this limit counts.
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
EXAMPLE
CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();
/* do no more than 2 connections per host */
curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS, 2L);
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.30.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLM_OK if the option is supported, and CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION
if not.
