You're correct, there's a bug in the CommTCP_ConnectBlocking() 
subprocedure. It should be using blocking mode during the connection, but 
switching to non-blocking mode after the connection is established. 
The bug is that it's not doing that (it's leaving it in blocking mode)

A quick workaround to the problem is to undefine the HTTP_BLOCK_ON_CONNECT 
option in CONFIG_H and re-compile HTTPAPI.

Since this is a pretty major problem, I'll generate a new release 
with a proper fix (version 1.12) with the fix and put it on the web site 
as soon as I can.
