300 sec timer is unnecessary
Im intersting only on 2s timer for request
My guess how it should work is:
1) try to GET with timeout 2s (timer set to internal time + 2sec, but internal time has lag 5s)
2) update internal time at ->recv.
3) fire timeout for GET, because internal time now = real time, and timer+2s is now in the past
4) throw error about timeout...
But... maybe before check timeout for connection it already has success status for GET and timeout at this situation is dropped away

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
