 # I have made a request. Then timeout triggers.
 # The lib stucks in the eventloop after following traceline:

I had the same problem too last night. It stuck in the select function
because the waiting-time parameter in the last call to the select
fuction is nil (which means wait forever?). I got around this by
puting a timer that goes off every so often before starting the event
loop. E.g.:

  HTTimer* timer = HTTimer_new(0, timer_cbf, 0, 1000, 1, 1);
=>HTTimer_dispatch(timer);
  HTEventList_newLoop();

Best,

Dekang
