pb with HTHost_setEventTimeout

Hello,

I have the following function which works well for retrieving html pages (I
use NT machines). 
But if the http server does not answer immediatly, I would like to set a
maximum waiting time of 10 sec, which I think I do by using
HTHost_setEventTimeout(10000). But this instruction does not seem to be
taken into account, as I have to wait between 45 and 55 sec to have the
response when the http server takes this time to answer.

Regards,
Xavier

int HTTPClient_getPage(char *url, char *page)
{
	int result = 0;
	char* tempoPage = 0;
	HTRequest* request;
	HTChunk* chunk;

	HTProfile_newNoCacheClient("TestApp", "1.0");

	HTHost_setEventTimeout(10000);

    	request = HTRequest_new();
    
	// Gotta set up our own traces 
    	HTPrint_setCallback(printer);
    	HTTrace_setCallback(tracer);

	HTPrint("url: %s \n", url);

    	// We want raw output including headers 
    	HTRequest_setOutputFormat(request, WWW_RAW);
	HTRequest_setPreemptive(request, YES);
    
    	// Close connection immediately
    	HTRequest_addConnection(request, "close", "");

    	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);

		// If chunk != NULL then we have the data 
		if (chunk) 
		{
			tempoPage = HTChunk_toCString(chunk);
			if (tempoPage)
			{
				strncpy(page, tempoPage, PAGE_LENGTH_MAX);
				HTPrint("%s", page ? page : "no text");
				HT_FREE(tempoPage);
				result = 1;
			}
			
		}
	} 
	else 
	{
		HTPrint("Type the URL you want to accces on the command
line\n");
    	}

    	// Terminate the Library 
    	HTProfile_delete();
	
    	// Clean up the request 
    	HTRequest_delete(request);

	return result;
}
