}
static int timerfunc(CURLM *multi, long timeout_ms, void *userp)
{


  guint *id = userp;


  if(id)


    g_source_remove(*id);


  /* -1 means we should just delete our timer. */


  if(timeout_ms == -1) {


    g_free(id);


    id = NULL;


  }


  else {


    if(!id)


      id = g_new(guint, 1);


    *id = g_timeout_add(timeout_ms, timeout_cb, id);
