I modified the url.c file in curl 7.7.1 to use non-blocking connects under
win32 (attached url.c.diff file). You can define the connect timeout value
with the "--connect-timeout" switch. If the connect timeout value is not
set, a blocking connect will be used. Curl returns the "Connection timed
out" error if there is a connection timeout.
