On Linux you can do what you're asking with `getaddrinfo_a` + `gai_suspend`. As always, on non-Linux Unixen the answer is "screw you!" | ||

OpenBSD has getaddrinfo_async since 5.6 (March 2014). | ||

Just wanted to note that Windows doesn't have that problem either. Even Windows NT had async getaddrinfo() variants. | ||

The fact that a library as polific as libcurl doesn't use it and tried to resort to pthread_cancel, known to have serious problems, points to a larger problem. Either posix needs to incorporate an async getaddrinfo or there is an education problem that needs to be addressed. | ||
