[FFmpeg-devel] TCP timeout for HTTP/HTTPS connections.

[Tom Gaudasiński]

I essentially have a thread that I need to have exit immediately.  I
thought tweaking timeouts would be one way to get this done, but I'm
starting to think that's a bad approach.

So, let me, maybe, rephrase the question: Is there a way I can tell
ffmpeg to terminate? Like, closing its sockets, or something like that?
This is all from another thread.
