[Damian] Then I misunderstood how libcurl was supposed to work. Let me see
if I got it right this time: On a timeout callback I will program/reprogram/stop my
timer and then forget about it. I don't even need to internally store the value.

[Damian] Yup, thanks a lot for the help. I think my interpretation of the doc was
libcurl telling me "this is the timeout value to use" in the callback, and it seems
to work more like "please program this timer"
