Hi All

            This problem is related to timeout of libcurl.

Description:

While downloading a file from a server (say server A) to an another
server (say server B), when download is in progress if we reboot server
A , server B which is in between the download operation don't get any
acknowledgement saying operation is stopped or aborted. So server B
waits infinitely and never comes out of the download operation.

The option which I thought is about CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, But this works if
the download operation takes longer duration than the time specified in
curl_easy_opt() with CURL_TIMEOUT as parameter then will abort the
operation right.

Is there any option to abort the operation when the remote machine goes
down?

Any comments appreciated

operating system: Linux 3 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

version of curl: 4.1.1

Regards

Anoop.
