Yes Deniel u right,
I tried that just now.
I have a flag which is set when abort is called. And the same flag is checked in the writedata callback, if found true , instead of sending the number of bytes received i return 0 so as to abort the connect.
But a lil confusion, this will come into effect only after the very first chunk of the transfer is returned. what if i want to abort the transfer when its just trying to connect and the request is just reaching the other end...that means between duration : after issuing curl_easy_perform and before receiving the first callback chunk for that request ?
pls let me know if there is any other way ..

Yes we do!

That is not the right way.

The thread that runs curl_easy_perform() must return the proper return code in
one of the callbacks to cause the transfer to abort. Or, you can set options
that makes it stop at a certain timeout time or when the transfer speed is
lower than your set limit.
