curl_upkeep()

curl_upkeep() — Performs any connection upkeep checks.

curl_upkeep() — Available if built against libcurl >= 7.62.0.

Some protocols have “connection upkeep” mechanisms. These mechanisms usually send some traffic on existing connections in order to keep them alive; this can prevent connections from being closed due to overzealous firewalls, for example.

Connection upkeep is currently available only for HTTP/2 connections. A small amount of traffic is usually sent to keep a connection alive. HTTP/2 maintains its connection by sending a HTTP/2 PING frame.

Returns: Returns true on success or false on failure.
