GNURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME(3)

💖 GNURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to this little corner of the curl_easy_getinfo options manual — today’s main character is GNURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME(3) ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME — get the time for all redirection steps 🕒💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME, double
*timep);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So the vibe is: you pass a pointer to a double, and it receives the total time, in seconds, that it took for all redirection steps — name lookup, connect, pretransfer, and transfer — before the final transaction was started. No cap, that’s the whole timeline tea ☕✨

CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME contains the complete execution time for multiple redirections — she’s tracking the whole redirect saga, not just one tiny moment 👑

Also, there’s a TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page — go peek if you want the full context 🫶

🌈 PROTOCOLS 🌈

All 🌍✨

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

here’s the code vibe, copy it exactly and let it slay:

curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  double redirect;
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
  res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  if(CURLE_OK == res) {
    res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME, &redirect);
    if(CURLE_OK == res) {
      printf("Time: %.1f", redirect);
    }
  }
  /* always cleanup */
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐
