NAME¶
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS - set connection cache size
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);
DESCRIPTION¶
Pass a long. The set number will be the persistent connection cache size. The
set
amount will be the maximum amount of simultaneously open
connections that libcurl may cache in cache associated with this handle.
Default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are
perfectly aware of how this works and changes libcurl's behaviour. 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 option.

5
