CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - max number of connections to a single host
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS,
long max);
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
. 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.
When more transfers are added to the multi handle than what can be performed due
to the set limit, they will be queued up waiting for their chance. When that
happens, the
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) timeout will be counted inclusive of
the waiting time, meaning that if you set a too narrow timeout in such a case
the transfer might never even start before it times out.
Even in the queued up situation, the
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3) timeout
is however treated as a per-connect timeout.
