That of course hints that this is indeed a libcurl-problem.

You could try the non-blocking libssh2 example just to verify that it too is
working.

That's not really a sensible way forward anyway, not even as a work-around.

You should stop trying to find a work-around and instead try to help us debug
the case. Extract information about what happened immediately before the hang
and please research exactly what the hang is and why and what libcurl does
when it hangs.

Does it only do this against this particular server or have to experienced it
on other servers?
