FW: HTLoadToChunk() will block for a long period

Hi, folks:

    if (url) {
	char * cwd = HTGetCurrentDirectoryURL();
	char * absolute_url = HTParse(url, cwd, PARSE_ALL);
	chunk = HTLoadToChunk(absolute_url, request);
	HT_FREE(absolute_url);
	HT_FREE(cwd);
 }


Using the above code from the chunk.c exmaple, is it possible to set a timeout on the request without using an event loop? If the target server is not responding then the call HTLoadToChunk() will block for a long period.
Is there a simple function to set a timeout, I can't seem to find one in the documentation.



Thanks and Regards
Eric
