It's http, through the PHP Curl library.

I don't know what timeout it is... I assume it's adding one, as every curl
request which fails with an error 18 hangs for 3 minutes. The only timeout
I've set is the connecttimeout below.

curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxylogin);
curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referrer);
curl_setopt($i1, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);

Thanks,
Matt
