! 24:
! 25: .SH NAME
! 26: CURLMOPT_PIPELINING \- enable HTTP pipelining and multiplexing
! 27: .SH SYNOPSIS
! 28: #include <curl/curl.h>
! 29:
! 30: CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING, long bitmask);
! 31: .SH DESCRIPTION
! 32: Pass in the \fBbitmask\fP parameter to instruct libcurl to enable HTTP
! 33: pipelining and/or HTTP/2 multiplexing for this multi handle.
! 34:
! 35: When enabled, libcurl will attempt to use those protocol features when doing
! 36: parallel requests to the same hosts.
! 37:
! 38: For pipelining, this means that if you add a second request that can use an
! 39: already existing connection, the second request will be \&"piped" on the same
! 40: connection rather than being executed in parallel.
! 41:
! 42: For multiplexing, this means that follow-up requests can re-use an existing
! 43: connection and send the new request multiplexed over that at the same time as
! 44: other transfers are already using that single connection.
! 45:
! 46: There are several other related options that are interesting to tweak and
! 47: adjust to alter how libcurl spreads out requests on different connections or
! 48: not etc.
! 49:
! 50: Before 7.43.0, this option was set to 1 and 0 to enable and disable HTTP/1.1
! 51: pipelining.
! 52:
! 53: Starting in 7.43.0, \fBbitmask\fP's second bit also has a meaning, and you can
! 54: ask for pipelining and multiplexing independently of each other by toggling
! 55: the correct bits.
! 56: .IP CURLPIPE_NOTHING (0)
! 57: Default, which means doing no attempts at pipelining or multiplexing.
! 58: .IP CURLPIPE_HTTP1 (1)
! 59: If this bit is set, libcurl will try to pipeline HTTP/1.1 requests on
! 60: connections that are already established and in use to hosts.
! 61:
! 62: This bit is deprecated and has no effect since version 7.62.0.
! 63: .IP CURLPIPE_MULTIPLEX (2)
! 64: If this bit is set, libcurl will try to multiplex the new transfer over an
! 65: existing connection if possible. This requires HTTP/2.
! 66: .SH DEFAULT
! 67: Since 7.62.0, \fBCURLPIPE_MULTIPLEX\fP is enabled by default.
! 68:
! 69: Before that, default was \fBCURLPIPE_NOTHING\fP.
! 70: .SH PROTOCOLS
! 71: HTTP(S)
! 72: .SH EXAMPLE
! 73: .nf
! 74: CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();
! 75: /* try HTTP/2 multiplexing */
! 76: curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING, CURLPIPE_MULTIPLEX);
! 77: .fi
! 78: .SH AVAILABILITY
! 79: Added in 7.16.0. Multiplex support bit added in 7.43.0. HTTP/1 Pipelining
! 80: support was disabled in 7.62.0.
! 81: .SH RETURN VALUE
! 82: Returns CURLM_OK if the option is supported, and CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
