Thanks for all your suggestions. Another issue that bugs me is that it seems
that this option does not work with HTTP. The documentation says it only
works with FTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and SSH. Considering the wide usage of
HTTP, can we expand the available protocols of it to more?
I don't see the point. We have several timeout options for HTTP already.
The CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT is for protocols where curl waits for the
server's responses many times during a standard "conversation". HTTP is not
like that, as there is only one response.
For HTTP we already provide:
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT
CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT + CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME
... or you can craft your own with CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION.
