Hi,

Please help me to understand these settings for curl handle.

I have set my connection time out to be 10 and response time out to be 10
secs in my configuration. Following is the code snippet for settings these
values to the curl handle.

/* Set the connection timeout */
curl_easy_setopt(locHandle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, hostDef.conTimeOut);

/* Set the total timeout */
if(hostDef.respTimeOut > 0)
{
curl_easy_setopt(locHandle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,
hostDef.respTimeOut);
}

I need to post the data to the server in my application, I am checking the
behaviour/fallback situation when connection is not available to the host.

I have putoff switch to the outside network to create the host down
situation

In the logs i have observed that application takes close to 50 secs to
determine that it is not able to connect to the host. I thought
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT would determine what is the maximum time it should
wait for the connection check. Is my understanding wrong here??

Please observe the logs of my application below, curl_easy_perform function
is called at 09:01:58:433 and it returned value 6 at 09:02:54:479. it took
close to 56 secs. I expect it to take 10 secs since conntimeout is set to
10. Am i missing something here?
