The OpenSSL handshake phase is supposed to be non-blocking since about 7.15.4
and thus it should be subject to the same timeouts as everything else.

I did recently go over and cleaned up the timeout handling in general in
libcurl so I'm not at all sure that the bug is still present, or if it is the
code you have in your version is at least not the same as any recent libcurl
has.

I would suggest that you attach a debugger or strace-like tool to the process
after about 122 seconds and check what it is doing at that moment instead of
returning due to timeout.

There's of course the risk that you're seeing a bug already fixed in more
recent versions of libcurl or even OpenSSL.
