Simply set a time-out with curl_easy_setopt. e.g. in hiperfifo.c insert curl_easy_setopt(conn->easy, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5); before line 344 and you'll get a nice working 5 second timeout. But you need curl >=7.21.1 which fixed the famous bug 62. In the old days you have to remove "stalled" easy handles manually (e.g. add a time event, and when it's callback is triggered, then this have to remove the easy handle from multi). Greetings.
