CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART(3)

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 server's 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.
 
This option works only with the following TLS backends: Secure Transport

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);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.42.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if false start is supported by the SSL backend, otherwise returns CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN.
