There has been a proposal for a callback to provide events on a connection, but
I don't recall where it currently stands.

You can probably get away with just the timeout scheme I suggested. If you set
high (or infinite) values for all timeouts then the transfer will never
complete, except that it MUST timeout to complete because there's no server
there and there will never be a response. So, if you set a minimum timeout for
CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_MS, the timeout should immediately be hit after
the request is sent and the request will complete.
