.IP CURLOPT_PORT
Pass a long specifying what remote port number to connect to, instead of the
one specified in the URL or the default port for the used protocol.
.IP CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY
Pass a long specifying whether the TCP_NODELAY option should be set or
cleared (1 = set, 0 = clear). The option is cleared by default. This
will have no effect after the connection has been established.
Setting this option will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm. The purpose of
this algorithm is to try to minimize the number of small packets on
the network (where "small packets" means TCP segments less than the
Maximum Segment Size (MSS) for the network).
Maximizing the amount of data sent per TCP segment is good because it
amortizes the overhead of the send. However, in some cases (most
notably telnet or rlogin) small segments may need to be sent
without delay. This is less efficient than sending larger amounts of
data at a time, and can contribute to congestion on the network if
overdone.
