These mechanisms usually 30 send some traffic on existing connections in order to keep them alive; this 31 can prevent connections from being closed due to overzealous firewalls, for 32 example. 33 34 The user needs to explicitly call curl_easy_upkeep(3) in order to 35 perform the upkeep work. 36 37 Currently the only protocol with a connection upkeep mechanism is HTTP/2: when 38 the connection upkeep interval is exceeded and curl_easy_upkeep(3) 39 is called, an HTTP/2 PING frame is sent on the connection. 40 41 # DEFAULT 42 43 CURL_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_DEFAULT (currently defined as 60000L, which is 60 seconds) 44 45 # %PROTOCOLS% 46 47 # EXAMPLE 48 49 ~~~c 50 int main(void) 51 { 52 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 53 if(curl) { 54 /* Make a connection to an HTTP/2 server. */ 55 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); 56 57 /* Set the interval to 30000ms / 30s */ 58 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS, 30000L); 59 60 curl_easy_perform(curl); 61 62 /* Perform more work here. */ 63 64 /* While the connection is being held open, curl_easy_upkeep() can be 65 called. If curl_easy_upkeep() is called and the time since the last 66 upkeep exceeds the interval, then an HTTP/2 PING is sent. */ 67 curl_easy_upkeep(curl); 68 69 /* Perform more work here. */ 70 71 /* always cleanup */ 72 curl_easy_cleanup(curl); 73 } 74 } 75 ~~~ 76 77 # %AVAILABILITY% 78 79 # RETURN VALUE 80 81 curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. 82 83 CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see 84 libcurl-errors(3).
