ok, so we run tests on the most recent version of libcurl 7.21.3 and the issue remain unchanged
however we found something new.

timeout is set at 2000ms, php returns the following

$inf['total_time']=1.97
$inf['connect_time']=0.04
$inf['namelookup_time']=0.00

(so it looks correct)

but I also got a message

Operation timed out after 2974 milliseconds with 0 out of -1 bytes received|

which is close to 3s, why is that?

>> It might be. We fixed timeout-related bugs in the timeout handling in 7.21.2.

> I will update this list tomorrow with my findings on the most recent version
