CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS
(int)
-

Defaults to 300000.

-
A string with the name of a file to save all internal cookies to when
the handle's destructor is called.

As of PHP 8.0.0, curl_close is a no-op
and does not destroy the handle.
If cookies need to be written prior to the handle being automatically
destroyed, call unset on the handle.
-
CURLOPT_COOKIELIST
(int)
-
A cookie string (i.e. a single line in Netscape/Mozilla format, or a regular
HTTP-style Set-Cookie header) adds that single cookie to the internal cookie store.

-
Pass a string naming a file with the concatenation of
CRL (Certificate Revocation List) (in PEM format)
to use in the certificate validation that occurs during the SSL exchange.
When cURL is built to use GnuTLS,
there is no way to influence the use of CRL passed
to help in the verification process.
When cURL is built with OpenSSL support,
X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK
and X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK_ALL are both set,
requiring CRL check against all the elements of the certificate chain
if a CRL file is passed.
Also note that CURLOPT_CRLFILE implies
CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN
as of cURL 7.71.0 due to an OpenSSL bug.
Available as of cURL 7.19.0.
-
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST
(int)
-
A custom request method to use instead of
GET or HEAD when doing
a HTTP request. This is useful for doing
DELETE or other, more obscure HTTP requests.
Valid values are things like GET,
POST, CONNECT and so on;
i.e. Do not enter a whole HTTP request line here. For instance,
entering GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n
would be incorrect.

Note:
Don't do this without making sure the server supports the custom
request method first.

based on the protocol it is used with.

POP3 will list the email message or messages on the POP3 server.
For FILE, this option has no effect
as directories are always listed in this mode.
Using this option with CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH
will prevent the latter from having any effect.
Defaults to 0.
