The values must be longs, not int. Try using 1L and 100L as your values.
What is libcurl doing when the timeout occurs? If it's timing out in the
DNS lookup, then the DNS resolver you're using becomes an issue. What
happens if you increase or decrease the value from 100? Does the 60
second timeout change?
