Expand a little. - mention the type name of the return code - avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that varies over time, builds and conditions - avoid stating some always return OK - refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes Closes #15900

# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_MAXAGE_CONN - max idle time allowed for reusing a connection
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXAGE_CONN, long age);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a long as parameter containing *age* - the maximum time in seconds
|
|
allowed for an existing connection to have been idle to be considered for
|
|
reuse for this request.
|
|
|
|
The "connection cache" holds previously used connections. When a new request
|
|
is to be done, libcurl considers any connection that matches for reuse. The
|
|
CURLOPT_MAXAGE_CONN(3) limit prevents libcurl from trying too old
|
|
connections for reuse, since old connections have a higher risk of not working
|
|
and thus trying them is a performance loss and sometimes service loss due to
|
|
the difficulties to figure out the situation. If a connection is found in the
|
|
cache that is older than this set *age*, it is closed instead.

|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
|
|
|
|
/* only allow 30 seconds idle time */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXAGE_CONN, 30L);
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_perform(curl);
