I'm a little iffy on this one. If I understand correctly, depending on the
build and configuration, curl may not be able to timeout during DNS lookups.
But I'm not sure if it does, anyway, since we don't set any timeouts.
Right, without a timeout set libcurl won't try to timeout name resolves.
To clarify: when libcurl is built to use the standard synchronous name
resolver functions it can only abort them after a specified time by using
signals (on posix systems).
