bash curl post request set timeout












0














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 tried curl -s -m 5 -X POST http://site.com -d "data:data"?
