I know the originator of this code is the libcurl people but I figured this would be a better place to ask since the questions are more about libevent version differences. This has likely been asked before but I couldn't find a way to search the mailing list.

The -1 means to disable the timer. What you do is block the call doing
so. This is not the intended behaviour. Better is using the new event
