bash curl post request set timeout
I make a post request from url like this
curl -s -X POST http://site.com -d "data:data"
The thing is that I want to set a timeout for the url I am sending the post request to.
I tried -m 5
, but then it doesn't make the request at all.

Does your curl (or man page) indicate the support of a-m
option? You know that it's in seconds? When you run it with-m 5
you're saying you get a new prompt before 5 seconds is up?

Just to be sure: The way you format your command in the example suggests you have tried adding the-m 5
between -X and POST (-X -m 5 POST
). It needs to be -X POST because POST is the argument to -X. Have you triedcurl -s -m 5 -X POST http://site.com -d "data:data"
?
