\fICURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION\fP. (Added in 7.16.0)
.IP CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS
Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of
-simultaneously open connections that libcurl may cache. Default is 10, and
-libcurl will enlarge the size for each added easy handle to make it fit 4
-times the number of added easy handles.
+simultaneously open connections that libcurl may keep in its connection cache
+after completed use. By default libcurl will enlarge the size for each added
+easy handle to make it fit 4 times the number of added easy handles.
By setting this option, you can prevent the cache size from growing beyond the
limit set by you.
number of open connections from increasing.
This option is for the multi handle's use only, when using the easy interface
-you should instead use the \fICURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS\fP option.
+you should instead use the \fICURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)\fP option.
+
+See \fICURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS\fP for limiting the number of active
+connections.
(Added in 7.16.3)
+.IP CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS
+Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of
+simultaneously open connections to a single host. For each new session to
+a host, libcurl will open a new connection up to the limit set by
+CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS. When the limit is reached, the sessions will
+be pending until there are available connections. If CURLMOPT_PIPELINING is
+1, libcurl will try to pipeline if the host is capable of it.
+
+The default value is 0, which means that there is no limit.
+However, for backwards compatibility, setting it to 0 when CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
+is 1 will not be treated as unlimited. Instead it will open only 1 connection
+and try to pipeline on it.
+
+(Added in 7.30.0)
+.IP CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH
+Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of requests
+in a pipelined connection. When this limit is reached, libcurl will use another
+connection to the same host (see CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS), or queue the
+requests until one of the pipelines to the host is ready to accept a request.
+Thus, the total number of requests in-flight is CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS *
+CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH.
+The default value is 5.
+
+(Added in 7.30.0)
+.IP CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE
+Pass a long. If a pipelined connection is currently processing a request
+with a Content-Length larger than CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE, that
+connection will not be considered for additional requests, even if it is
+shorter than CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH.
+The default value is 0, which means that the penalization is inactive.
+
+(Added in 7.30.0)
+.IP CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE
+Pass a long. If a pipelined connection is currently processing a
+chunked (Transfer-encoding: chunked) request with a current chunk length
+larger than CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE, that connection will not be
+considered for additional requests, even if it is shorter than
+CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH.
+The default value is 0, which means that the penalization is inactive.
+
+(Added in 7.30.0)
+.IP CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL
+Pass an array of char *, ending with NULL. This is a list of sites that are
+blacklisted from pipelining, i.e sites that are known to not support HTTP
+pipelining. The array is copied by libcurl.
+
+The default value is NULL, which means that there is no blacklist.
+
+Pass a NULL pointer to clear the blacklist.
+
+Example:
+
+.nf
+ site_blacklist[] =
+ {
+ "www.haxx.se",
+ "www.example.com:1234",
+ NULL
+ };
+
+ curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_PIPELINE_SITE_BL, site_blacklist);
+.fi
+
+(Added in 7.30.0)
+.IP CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL
+Pass an array of char *, ending with NULL. This is a list of server types
+prefixes (in the Server: HTTP header) that are blacklisted from pipelining,
+i.e server types that are known to not support HTTP pipelining. The array is
+copied by libcurl.
+
+Note that the comparison matches if the Server: header begins with the string
+in the blacklist, i.e "Server: Ninja 1.2.3" and "Server: Ninja 1.4.0" can
+both be blacklisted by having "Ninja" in the backlist.
+
+The default value is NULL, which means that there is no blacklist.
+
+Pass a NULL pointer to clear the blacklist.
+
+Example:
+
+.nf
+ server_blacklist[] =
+ {
+ "Microsoft-IIS/6.0",
+ "nginx/0.8.54",
+ NULL
+ };
+
+ curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_PIPELINE_SERVER_BL, server_blacklist);
+.fi
+
+(Added in 7.30.0)
+.IP CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS
+Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of
+simultaneously open connections in total. For each new session, libcurl
+will open a new connection up to the limit set by
+CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS. When the limit is reached, the sessions will
+be pending until there are available connections. If CURLMOPT_PIPELINING is
+1, libcurl will try to pipeline if the host is capable of it.
+
+The default value is 0, which means that there is no limit.
+However, for backwards compatibility, setting it to 0 when CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
+is 1 will not be treated as unlimited. Instead it will open only 1 connection
+and try to pipeline on it.
