libcurl should never be allowed to "hang" for an extended period of time. It
still has a few places in the code that isn't done entirely non-blocking but
they should be few and they should never hang completely.

What protocols are you using?

If you can attach gdb to such a condition, then please show us a stack trace.
Of course, this is really only interesting if you're using a recent libcurl as
I'm not really up to digging into the past.

That should be working fine timeout-wise. But we have fixed at least 230 bugs
since...
