NAME

CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART - TLS false start  

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART, long enable);

 

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter set to 1L to enable or 0 to disable.

This option determines whether libcurl should use false start during the TLS handshake. False start is a mode where a TLS client starts sending application data before verifying the serveraqs Finished message, thus saving a round trip when performing a full handshake.  

DEFAULT

0  

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

No TLS backend supports this option.  

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART, 1L);
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

 

DEPRECATED

Deprecated since 8.15.0.  

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.42.0  

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
