dear list,

i have a small problem with the following situation; a program uses
libcurl to download an internet stream, but when you unplug the ethernet
cable, disconnect the router, or run "ifconfig eth0 down", the program
will hang for a very, very long time before it gets a timeout. how can i
set this timeout to a few seconds? is this a libcurl-option or a
system-wide setting? (i run linux 2.6)

thanks a lot,
Chris
