Curl timeout option in milliseconds

From: karthikeyan Sivakkumar via curl-library <curl-library_at_cool.haxx.se>

Hi Team,

We have a developed a C application that makes a http/https call for third
party from fraud check using curl library.
Our client has a requirement to handle curl timeout of *200 milliseconds*.
I tried to use CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS option but from my test results I could
see that the minimum timeout value that can be given is 1000 milliseconds.
Even if I configure 200 milliseconds, the curl call times out only after 1
second (1000 milliseconds).
Is there any way to handle this requirement other than setting CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL
to 1 and handling the timeouts in the application level rather than using
curl options.
Also, I am wary of any other side effects that might occur going with the
CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL option.

Kindly advise me in handling this requirement in the best possible way.

Thanks,
Karthikeyan T S
Programmer Analyst.
