| Maximum time in seconds that you allow curl's connection to take. This only | |
| limits the connection phase, so if curl connects within the given period it | |
| continues - if not it exits. | |
| This option accepts decimal values (added in 7.32.0). The decimal value needs | |
| to be provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not the local version | |
| even if it might be using another separator. | |
| The connection phase is considered complete when the DNS lookup and requested | |
| TCP, TLS or QUIC handshakes are done. | |
