NAME

6       CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART - TLS false start
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART, long enable);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Pass a long as parameter set to 1L to enable or 0 to disable.
15
16       This  option  determines  whether libcurl should use false start during
17       the TLS handshake. False start is a mode where a TLS client will  start
18       sending  application  data  before verifying the server's Finished mes‐
19       sage, thus saving a round trip when performing a full handshake.
20

DEFAULT

22       0
23

PROTOCOLS

25       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
26

EXAMPLE

31         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_FALSESTART, 1L);
32         curl_easy_perform(curl);
33       }
34
