Hello!
My web server is switched off.
I use curl to request some html page on SuSe 9.3 (ia32) and MacOS X
10.4.6 (ppc).
I am getting errors messages which come with different time intervals.
Examples:
On Linux (the same message all the time):
time ./curl http://172.18.2.32/index.html
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

real 0m3.023s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.003s

./curl --version
curl 7.14.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.14.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7e
Protocols: ftp http file https ftps
Features: Largefile NTLM SSL

On MacOS (macdev2):
time ./curl http://172.18.2.32/index.html
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

real 1m14.738s
user 0m0.018s
sys 0m0.026s

./curl --version
curl 7.15.4 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0) libcurl/7.15.4 OpenSSL/0.9.7g
Protocols: tftp ftp http file https ftps
Features: Largefile NTLM SSL

Can someone explain the reason, why the behavior of curls is so
different?

NB! The behavior does not depend on version of curl.

Thx,
Yaroslav.
