When testing with a very poor network, setting a connection timeout with natsOptions_SetTimeout() is not being respected. Regardless of what I set in milliseconds, the connection times out consistently at 30 seconds per server.
I am using iOS's Network Link Conditioner to simulate a very poor network with 100% packet loss.
The timeout is respected when testing with radios disabled (airplane mode).
For testing purposes, I set natsOptions_SetRetryOnFailedConnect() to false and set a callback there, which is not being called. So, no connection retries should be happening.
Other options are being respected, so I do not believe it is an issue setting options.
Expected behavior
The timeout should be respected. For example setting natsOptions_SetTimeout(opts, 5000) should time out after 10 seconds with two servers.
Server and client version
nats-server: v2.10.3
nats.c client: v3.7.0
Host environment
Client is on various configurations of iPhone hardware and iOS version (recent).
Steps to reproduce
Launch Nats client with normally connected network and connection timeout set to 5s per server
Connect to Nats server to ensure it is responding
Disconnect
Set Network Link Conditioner to 100% packet loss
Attempt to connect to server
Timeout will not trigger for 30 seconds after initiating the connection attempt.
