Hello Daniel,

Some additional information:

I start the server
I start a client doing a HTTP post with CURLOPT_TIMEOUT set to 30
I kill the server before the end of the post processing
The client request is immediatly ended

For me, the expected behavior shoud be:
The client request returns after 30s.

Is it true or not ?

Regs,
Gwen

I don't understand what effect you want. The timeout is the maximum time you
want to allow the operation to take. If the server isn't available, the
operation will fail immediately. That has nothing to do with the timeout
value.
