Hi,

I believe there is an issue with libcurl (I have tried the latest version)
where an unresponsive proxy server causes an endless hang. It's quite easy
to reproduce by simply setting the proxy name to be "localhost" and the port
to something without a proxy on it (135).

The code that loops is the " while (!done)" loop in Transfer (transfer.c).
It just never gets done and " result = Curl_readwrite(conn, &done);" is
never set...and around it goes.

Can anyone else reproduce the problem and if so is there any chance of a
fix?

Regards
Russ Freeman
