hello,

it is true that "-m" function doesn't works well in windows 98 SE
systems...

-m/--max-time <seconds>
Maximum time in seconds that you allow the whole operation to take.
This is useful for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours
due to slow networks or links going down. This doesn't work fully in
win32 systems.

... but i think for a similar function (by security) who stops CURL
after a "pre-defined time" sic !!! i'm not happy when CURL waits
for nothing since a long time :X

I think CURL can capture the date and time of the beginning of
session and capture again every X seconds to compare and giving
the "uptime" of the program processus... it is not logic but
it is the only solution (except the stupid "don't use windows") :X
