I finally got net-cpp to work with Thomas's help. Issue is that net-cpp needs libcurl4-openssl-dev.
We really need to add that to debian/control. Not sure about the other ssl options that libcurl supports. There is a whole bunch of them, including OpenSSL and gnutls.
Anyway, with the patched net-cpp, the timeout exception in the HttpClient test now is delivered correctly, and the test passes.
