With reference to this thread, http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-09/0320.html

My client application is using libCurl-7.18-1 and I see response times
of 10-20 msec.
However, when I set the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS to 999 ms, I get a timeout.
Whereas if I set it as CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS as 1000 msec, I get back a
response.

After reading the previous thread, it appears that I need to build
libCurl with C-Ares enabled.

How does one build libCurl with C-Ares enabled ? Are there any other
alternatives ?

Thanks,
