}
catch (CurlTimeoutException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Operation timed out after {ex.Timeout?.TotalSeconds ?? 0} seconds");

    // Retry with longer timeout
    Console.WriteLine("Retrying with 30 second timeout...");
    result = await curl.ExecuteAsync("curl --max-time 30 https://slow-server.com/large-file");
}

Remarks

This can occur for connection timeout or total operation timeout.

Curl error code: CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (28)

AI-Usage: Catch this to implement retry with longer timeout or fail fast.

AI-Pattern: Log timeout value to help diagnose if timeout is too short.
