1000 milliseconds.

No. But if you'd come up with a legitimate use-case showing us why that is a

Which change?

That's one crazy version number. The libcurl version we released was only
called 7.15.1 though, the rest must be your distro or something that adds.

7.15.1 was released for more than 4 years ago and we've fixed (literally) over
a thousand bugs since then.

libcurl.
