You're mixing APIs here. url_fopen returns a URL_FILE* while
curl_easy_setopt takes a CURL*. fopen.c is really just a demo program
and isn't part of the libcurl API. You're free to modify it to add a
timeout using the CURL* handle directly, but it's not designed to be a
full-featured replacement for the curl easy API.
