I have a network system that checks other sites and displays results. However some of those sites can be slow to respond.
I'd like Curl to wait only a small time before saying "forget this site!" and moving onto the next.
How do you make curl abort an attempt after so much "idle" time?
The reason I did not post any code is because I have no idea where to even start on this feature! Be kind. :D
You have two separate options for the timeout:
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT
Time (in seconds) spent connecting (set to 0 for infinite wait time)
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT
Time (in seconds) spent while curl is executing (set to 0 for inifinite wait time)
