Just a test:

Making HTTP connection to www.pervalidus.net:8080

On Linux pressing 'z' stops the Making...

On Cygwin it stays at Making...

and I have to exit with ^C.

It doesn't matter if I use 'z' after 1s or 1min.

BTW, how does https work ? Sometimes it just stays at Making...
and 'z' doesn't work at all.
