I just did, and when connecting to nc on a given port it actually timed out
exactly on the given millisecond:

* Operation timed out after 2995 milliseconds with 0 out of -1 bytes received

So I guess this is not repeating your case closely enough. Do you know what
libcurl does at the moment it times out? I mean has it connected to the remote
port already, is it still connecting or is it waiting for data?
