  26. .SH NAME
  27. CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT_MS \- head start for IPv6 for happy eyeballs
  28. .SH SYNOPSIS
  29. .nf
  30. #include <curl/curl.h>
  31. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT_MS,
  32. long timeout);
  33. .fi
  34. .SH DESCRIPTION
  35. Happy eyeballs is an algorithm that attempts to connect to both IPv4 and IPv6
  36. addresses for dual-stack hosts, preferring IPv6 first for \fItimeout\fP
  37. milliseconds. If the IPv6 address cannot be connected to within that time then
  38. a connection attempt is made to the IPv4 address in parallel. The first
  39. connection to be established is the one that is used.
  40. The range of suggested useful values for \fItimeout\fP is limited. Happy
  41. Eyeballs RFC 6555 says "It is RECOMMENDED that connection attempts be paced
  42. 150-250 ms apart to balance human factors against network load." libcurl
  43. currently defaults to 200 ms. Firefox and Chrome currently default to 300 ms.
  44. .SH DEFAULT
  45. CURL_HET_DEFAULT (currently defined as 200L)
