Is there a way to control the timeout on retrieving a file such as
HTLoadToFile.

HTRequest *request = 0;
  struct     stat fstat;
  
  request = HTRequest_new();  
  HTAlert_setInteractive(NO);

  HTRequest_addConnection(request, "close", "");

  debug("libwww.c", "saving %s to %s...\n", src, dst);

  if ((HTLoadToFile(src, request, dst) != YES))
    {
      debug("libwww.c", "cannot download file %s\n", src);
      return 0;
    }
  
  debug("libwww.c", "request loop\n");
  HTEventList_loop(request);

  stat(dst, &fstat);
  debug("libwww.c", "saved %s (%llu bytes)\n", src, fstat.st_size);

  if (access(dst, F_OK) || !(fstat.st_size))
    return 0;

  HTRequest_delete(request);
  return fstat.st_size;

HTHost_setEventTimeout does not seem to affect this.  I would like to
limit the attempt to a couple seconds.  That timeout is fine once the
event loop runs, but HTLoadToFile is blocking for about 60 seconds.
What am I missing?
