Hello, I looked for similar problems in the archive and found something related to timeout and name resolution, but nothing seems to represent a solution.
I am working on Windows 10 and for my test I installed and activated the M$ loopback adapter, then I deactivated the true network card. I am using curl 7.78.0. I downloaded and compiled curl.exe from the official repository with the following parameters: Protocols: dict http https smb smbs Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile SSPI Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM SSL HSTS TrackMemory UnixSockets alt-svc I tried also with a reduced set of Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile SSPI Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM SSL. I prepared a script which does a "echo %TIME%" before and after calling "curl -v --connect-timeout 1 --trace-time http://...";. This is the output I get: ------------------------------------------------------------- 14:47:42,47 14:47:43.552035 * Resolving timed out after 1005 milliseconds 14:47:54.584128 * Closing connection 0 curl: (28) Resolving timed out after 1005 milliseconds 14:47:54,53 ------------------------------------------------------------- It takes one second to give the timeout error, but it waits then 11 seconds to return control. I debugged into the curl-library and I discovered that when multi_handle_timeout() detects a timeout, it calls the Curl_resolver_kill(). The Curl_resolver_kill() awaits then 11 seconds for Curl_thread_join(). I noticed even that the multi_handle_timeout() does not set "data->result" to the current "status". Perhaps this could be useful for subsequent calls to be informed that an error occurred. So I was expecting a timeout event after 1 second, but it took 12 seconds to have the prompt again. If there were to wait one second from the resolver and one second to the connection to close (because I set "--connect-timeout 1"), I would have understood it, but not 1+11 seconds. Did I do something wrong or is there somekind of bug? Thank you. -- Best regards.
