The file is getting updated and the operation exits with error "Timeout was reached".

Sorry, but is that the error message from curl when it fails?

I am able to "ping www.google.com" and "ping my_ftp_server" with 8.8.8.8 as the only entry in the resolv.conf file, but the curl operation fails.

Which libcurl version? On Linux? What name resolver backend does your libcurl use? 'curl -V' shows.

Can you please be more specific about the exact error message and return code you get from libcurl?

As Dan Fandrich already asked you on curl-users: Can you use the Google DNS server manually? e.g. does "host www.google.com 8.8.8.8" or "dig www.google.com @8.8.8.8" return anything?
