The default connection timeout is 3 or 4 minutes which is a long time to block in a library function.

Would it be possible to connection asynchronously with a configurable timeout?  See patch for example with fixed 15s timeout.

If someone makes function _httpCreate() from cups/http.c public:

  httpCreate()
  httpSetTimeout()
  httpReconnect()

Will this work ?

Wolfgang,

Not at present.  Asynchronous connect() is not universally-supported, so we need to find a more general solution.

In the meantime, httpConnect() and friends should not be used on the main thread if this is a concern.
