- 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
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT - life-time for cached certificate stores
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT, long age);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. This tells libcurl the maximum
|
|
time any cached CA certificate store it has in memory may be kept and reused
|
|
for new connections. Once the timeout has expired, a subsequent fetch
|
|
requiring a CA certificate has to reload it.
|
|
|
|
Building a CA certificate store from a CURLOPT_CAINFO(3) file is a slow
|
|
operation so curl may cache the generated certificate store internally to
|
|
speed up future connections.
|
|
|
|
Set the timeout to zero to completely disable caching, or set to -1 to retain
|
|
the cached store remain forever. By default, libcurl caches this info for 24
|
|
hours.
|
|
|
|
# DEFAULT
|
|
|
|
86400 (24 hours)
|
|
|
|
# %PROTOCOLS%
|
|
|
|
# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
CURLcode res;
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
|
|
|
|
/* only reuse certificate stores for a short time */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CA_CACHE_TIMEOUT, 60L);
|
|
|
|
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
|
|
/* in this second request, the cache is not used if more than
|
|
sixty seconds passed since the previous connection */
|
|
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
|
|
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
|
|
}
