- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive - make historic mentions use HISTORY - generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing where to put it - generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of guessing where to put it - make the protocols section more verbose Closes #14227

# NAME
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_upkeep - keep existing connections alive
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_upkeep(CURL *handle);
|
|

# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Some protocols have "connection upkeep" mechanisms. These mechanisms usually
|
|
send some traffic on existing connections in order to keep them alive; this
|
|
can prevent connections from being closed due to overzealous firewalls, for
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
Currently the only protocol with a connection upkeep mechanism is HTTP/2: when
|
|
the connection upkeep interval is exceeded and curl_easy_upkeep(3)
|
|
is called, an HTTP/2 PING frame is sent on the connection.
|
|
|
|
This function must be explicitly called in order to perform the upkeep work.
|
|
The connection upkeep interval is set with
|
|
CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS(3).
|

# %PROTOCOLS%

|
# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
/* Make a connection to an HTTP/2 server. */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
|
|
|
|
/* Set the interval to 30000ms / 30s */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS, 30000L);
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
|
|
/* Perform more work here. */
|
|
|
|
/* While the connection is being held open, curl_easy_upkeep() can be
|
|
called. If curl_easy_upkeep() is called and the time since the last
|
|
upkeep exceeds the interval, then an HTTP/2 PING is sent. */
|
|
curl_easy_upkeep(curl);
|
|
|
|
/* Perform more work here. */
|
|
|
|
/* always cleanup */
|
|
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
