I know for a fact that httplib is currently broken with regard to timeouts
and keyboard interrupts on SSL sockets, and wouldn't be at all surprised if
it was for normal transfers too.  As for the error you are seeing, EALREADY
is usually the result of two calls to connect() that are racing each other.
Finding out why it is being called twice will likely lead to an obvious
solution.
