Note that these must be long integers; use 1L instead of plain 1 for a
1 second timeout (which seems pretty short, but it's valid).

The return code of curl_easy_setopt is an indication of whether the value
was set correctly. In current versions of libcurl, setting these timeouts
will ALWAYS return 0 (a.k.a. CURLE_OK).
