.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS \- time allowed to wait for server response
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS,
                          long timeout);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. It tells libcurl to wait no longer than \fItimeout\fP milliseconds
for responses on sent commands. If no response is received within this period,
the connection is considered dead and the transfer fails.

It is recommended that if used in conjunction with \fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3)\fP, you set
\fICURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS(3)\fP to a value smaller than
\fICURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3)\fP.

The maximum accepted value is 2147483648.

This is the millisecond version of \fICURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT(3)\fP.
.SH DEFAULT
60000 milliseconds
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects ftp, imap, pop3, scp, sftp and smtp
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/slow.txt");
    /* wait no more than 237 milliseconds */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS, 237L);
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 8.6.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
