Description
Sets the connection timeout in seconds.Pass the maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection to the server to take. This only limits the connection phase, once it has connected, this option is of no more use. Set to zero to switch to the default built-in connection timeout - 300 seconds. See also the CURL.SetOptionTimeOut option.
See also CONNECTTIMEOUT option in CURL manual.
Examples
Set timeout to 30 seconds:
MBS( "CURL.SetOptionConnectionTimeout"; $curl; 30 )
Check if SMB (port 445) is open on a given IP in network:
Let ( [
curl = MBS("CURL.New");
a = MBS( "CURL.SetOptionConnectOnly"; curl; 1 );
b = MBS( "CURL.SetOptionURL"; curl; "192.168.2.117" );
c = MBS( "CURL.SetOptionConnectionTimeout"; curl; 1 );
d = MBS( "CURL.SetOptionPort"; curl; 445 );
r = MBS( "CURL.Perform"; curl );
x = MBS( "CURL.Release"; curl)
]; r )
// returns either
// OK
// or
// 28: Connection timed out after 1000 milliseconds
Try whether google is available:
Let ( [
# new session
curl = MBS("CURL.New");
# only connect, don't transfer data
r = MBS("CURL.SetOptionConnectOnly"; curl; 1);
# limit time to 1 second to connect and 2 seconds in total
r = MBS("CURL.SetOptionConnectionTimeout"; curl; 1);
r = MBS("CURL.SetOptionTimeOut"; curl; 2);
# new connection please
r = MBS("CURL.SetOptionFreshConnect"; curl; 1);
r = MBS("CURL.SetOptionForbidReuse"; curl; 1);
# we query google here
r = MBS("CURL.SetOptionURL"; curl; "http://www.google.de");
# and try it!
result = MBS("CURL.Perform"; curl);
# optionally have log messages go there
// $$log = MBS("CURL.GetDebugMessages"; curl);
# and cleanup
r = MBS("CURL.Release"; curl)
]; result )
