I *think* what he wants is for the progress callback to be called from time
to time while a connect is in progress, with the possibility for the program
to pass back a request to abandon the connect before it completes.

For example, suppose you specify 30 second timeout on a page fetch - perhaps
every 5 seconds the progress callback would be called with a "still trying
to connect" status. After maybe 20 seconds the program somehow decides that
it waited long enough, and cancels the request.

I suppose that would give the program some flexibility in deciding when to
bail out.
