I am using using curl version 7.33 and the libcurl C library ,
curl_easy_perform() function.
The code set the curl timeout to 30ms and follow redirect
CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL=1
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS=30ms
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION=1
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS=2

I found the curl honors the timeout, when
-The client cannot connect to the server within the timeout time.
-The client connects to the server and the server takes long time to return

But it does NO honor the timeout
- incase of the redirect; It follows the redirect location but if the
redirect page takes long time to return, then it ignores the timeout and
wait for the redirect page to return.

thanks
Rabi
