i use libcurl (7.19) to develop a simple ftp client on Linux. i found some ftp servers very busy and my client could not connect. i konw some other ftp client softwares will retry ( like that it retry for 30 times in 5 minutes, and if it still could not connect, give it up). my problem is : will libcurl retry itself? if it will, is there some functions i could use to control it or configure? or i have to retry myself? thanks.
libcurl will not retry, you have to do it yourself. Some inspiration on how that can be done, can be found in the curl tool code as it supports a --retry option that does roughly what you ask for.
