NAME

CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT - low speed limit in bytes per second

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT,


                          long speedlimit);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter. It contains the average transfer speed in bytes per second that the transfer should be below during CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME(3) seconds for libcurl to consider it to be too slow and abort.

DEFAULT

0, disabled

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    CURLcode res;


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");


    /* abort if slower than 30 bytes/sec during 60 seconds */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME, 60L);


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT, 30L);


    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    if(CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT == res) {


      printf("Timeout.\n");


    }


    /* always cleanup */


    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);


  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.1

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
