# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT - life-time for DNS cache entries
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, long age);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolve results are kept
|
|
in memory and used for this number of seconds. Set to zero to completely
|
|
disable caching, or set to -1 to make the cached entries remain forever. By
|
|
default, libcurl caches this info for 60 seconds.
|
|
|
|
We recommend users not to tamper with this option unless strictly necessary.
|
|
If you do, be careful of using large values that can make the cache size grow
|
|
significantly if many different hostnames are used within that timeout period.
|
|
|
|
The name resolve functions of various libc implementations do not re-read name
|
|
server information unless explicitly told so (for example, by calling
|
|
*res_init(3)*). This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even
|
|
if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue
|
|
to the casual libcurl-app user.
|
|
|
|
DNS entries have a "TTL" property but libcurl does not use that. This DNS
|
|
cache timeout is entirely speculative that a name resolves to the same address
|
|
for a small amount of time into the future.
|
|
|
|
libcurl prunes entries from the DNS cache if it exceeds 30,000 entries no
|
|
matter which timeout value is used. (Added in version 8.1.0)
|
|
|
|
Since curl 8.16.0, failed name resolves are stored in the DNS cache for half
|
|
the set timeout period.

|
|
|

/* only reuse addresses for a short time */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, 2L);
|
|
|
|
result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
|
|
/* in this second request, the cache is not be used if more than
|
|
two seconds have passed since the previous name resolve */

# 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).
