The application receives the FQDN server address from a different module and then interacts with it using HTTP. The issue i am facing is that if I remove the ethernet cable and then try to do the HTTP communication. This returns resolution failed after timeout happens, which is fine, but actuallyduring name resolution the main thread gets blocked.
Are you saying that the thread libcurl is running in is somehow magically blocking another thread from executing?
My libcurl is not compiled with c-ares library can that cause DNS resolution to block the entire process.
I guess that depends on your system but it does sound like a weird thing to me. I figure you need to investigate your system's threading and name resolving abilities.
