curl commands may hang indefinately with timeout parameters

[EricLEdberg]

I was writing an application that used the set-parameter.sh program to toggle light "on" parameter. In my case, I'm using GE Z-Wave switches which work ok. My light bulb burn't out. When the next automated set-parameter.sh command executed to turn the light off (on=false), the set-parameter.sh program hung indefinately requiring me to manually kill the program. Manually executing set-parameter.sh also hung.

Curl commands should include both a --connect-timeout and --max-time options.

curl --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 60 example.com

I know it's easy to modify the programs and I've already updated my local copy. You may wish to do the same if/when you get bored.

The minute I replaced the light bulb it started working. Strange.

There is also a problem in the IOT GW and/or Z-Wave code which, in this case, repeatedly hung attempting to communicat with a Z wave light switch connected to a lamp with a bad bulb. Will test the bad bulb later to see if it repeats.

@EricLEdberg would you want to submit a pull request with your changes?

Yes, I will attempt a pull request after researching the commands/process.  I've only performed  a "git" on other folks code in the past, and only created a couple projects myself.  About time to learn the process although it may take a week or so....
