[pacman-dev] [PATCH v4] Add configuration options for libcurl's "low speed" timeout

Andrew Hills ahills at ednos.net
Wed Mar 26 19:48:57 EDT 2014


Add LowSpeedLimit and LowSpeedTime configuration options to correspond to
libcurl's CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT and CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME options. This
allows, e.g., transfers behind corporate virus-scanning firewalls to survive
the delays. Increasing the timeout may not be desirable in all situations;
similarly, disabling the check prevents detection of disappearing networks.

This version of the patch does not allow setting LowSpeedLimit, nor
LowSpeedTime, to a negative value.
