Hello Daniel,

 

Thanks in advance for your time. I have a question regerding HTTPS connections. I use libcurl 7.20.0 + openssl 0.9.8.

I'm trying to connect HTTPS server and perform HTTP GET request. It is very important for me to fit the timeouts I set. Right now I use

CURLOPT_TIMEOUT set to 30 sec and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT set to 10 sec.

 

    In general they work but there are cases when these settings work unreliable and I get overall time up to 50 seconds (connectivity is very poor).

    I'm sure that CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT works fine since it uses signals and longjumps. But I have conserns regarding CURLOPT_TIMEOUT.

 

                        The question are:

                        Is it possible the SSL sertificate exchange phase is not limited be CURLOPT_TIMEOUT?

                            So if, let's say, the SSL sertificate exchange phase takes longer that the value of CURLOPT_TIMEOUT then it won't be interrupt til is ends?

                                                  Is there any way to overcome the problem?

 

      Thanks,

Nikita
