I don't know windows land very well so I can't really advice on tools to use,
but I thought there are such that can tell what system calls that fail or not,
and then you can analyze the network traffic to see what goes on there or not.

You mean you're sure it can be renumbered?

You're oversimplificating this problem. A timeout is something that took
longer than it was allowed. There's actually nothing in the exit code or in
the description of it that says it strictly only applies to "a user request".
As I already explained, libcurl does a lot of timeout checks and for many
there are a default timeout that is merely altered by the user settable
timeout so when the timeout is reached, the code has no clue if it was default
or set by the user.

So again, I need to understand what the problem you see actually is so that I
then can check the code and see if I can see any obvious problem in there, or
if I can re-run curl myself and try to repeat it (most likely not under
Windows then, but...).

No, it can't be renumbered. At least that won't solve this problem.
