NAME

6       CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE - rate limit data upload speed
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE,
12                                 curl_off_t maxspeed);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a curl_off_t as parameter with the maxspeed.  If an upload exceeds
16       this speed (counted in bytes per second) the  transfer  will  pause  to
17       keep  the speed less than or equal to the parameter value.  Defaults to
18       unlimited speed.
19
20       This is not an exact science. libcurl  attempts  to  keep  the  average
21       speed below the given threshold over a period time.
22
23       If you set maxspeed to a value lower than CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE(3),
24       libcurl might "shoot over" the limit on its first send and  still  send
25       off a full buffer.
26
27       This option does not affect transfer speeds done with FILE:// URLs.

EXAMPLE

36       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
37       if(curl) {
38         CURLcode ret;
39         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
40         /* cap the upload speed to 1000 bytes/sec */
41         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE, (curl_off_t)1000);
42         /* (set some upload options as well!) */
43         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
44       }
