I have set

     // We require at least one byte every 10 seconds
     curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT, 1); // 1 byte
     curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME, 10); // 10 Seconds

I then perfom a large post, some 125 Megabytes over a fast LAN connection.

Reading the libcurl documentation, I come to belive that a timeout
should occur with the above options iff no bytes at all are transfered
in ten seconds.

I had assumed that this worked either way, i.e. recieve or send. My log
output below shows that curl times out after ten seconds, however that
tansfer takes 72 seconds, and has transfered all of the data. The server
also recieves all of the data and it is correct.

Is it the case that the CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_* options only take into
account the amount of data recieved rather than posted?
