NAME

CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME - get the time until connect

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME, double *timep);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time in seconds from the start until the connection to the remote host (or proxy) was completed.

When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added together.

See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    if(CURLE_OK == res) {


      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME, &connect);


      if(CURLE_OK == res) {


        printf("Time: %.1f", connect);
