I'm using curl in some perl code to download a report in PDF format from a reporting server (OBIEE)

If report is smaller, it works fine. But if its larger, it fails, always, at exactly 5 minutes. I have been researching the documentation for ages and cannot find why its 5:00 which then makes it give up with a 502 Proxy Error... How do I increase this time limit?

I have set connect timeout, transfer timeout, etc etc... all set to 45 minutes; still, always happens at 5:00..

exec curl --include -verbose --connect-timeout 2700 --max-time 2700 --proxy-anyauth --no-buffer --compressed --no-sessionid --cookie-jar cookies.txt --cookie cookies.txt --cookie dwchcookie=dwhcookie --anyauth --user-agent Mozilla/5.0 --output output6020.html --url http://foo --referer http://foo.com?bar

* Connected to foo.com (209.87.108.103) port 80 (#0)

  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:05:00 --:--:-- 0< HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error

What is this 5:00 timer, and how do I stop it? Please help, this is driving me crazy! Downloading the large report from internet explorer manually works fine!!! Why can't I curl this report??? (same report with different parameters (which have smaller resultset works fine!!))

Thanks so much!
