Everything. It is meant to be the maximum time the operation will take. No

libcurl only features two timeouts that would partly help you:

 CURLOPT_TIMEOUT - timeouts evertything after N seconds
 CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT - timeouts a slow connect after N seconds, but once
  the connect is made, the timeout is ignored.
