I use curl to retrieve a video-stream of semi-infinite length. Now sometimes if the camera crashes, the video stream stops. I would like curl to timeout then. Is this possible?
I think this is answered in the FAQ here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html#I_want_a_different_time_out
From the manual I understood that CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS is for the whole session. I need a t/o for a single read.
libcurl doesn't expose the concept of individual reads so I don't understand how that would work. It even uses non-blocking sockets internally so it actually never really times out on a per-read level.
