The set number will be the persistent connection cache size. The +set \fIamount\fP 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 \fICURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)\fP 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 \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP and the +\fICURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS\fP option. +.SH DEFAULT +5 +.SH PROTOCOLS +Most +.SH EXAMPLE +TODO +.SH AVAILABILITY +Always +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS "(3), " CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS "(3), " |
