Well, i researched a bit about cURL and played around and these are the results:
1.
There's an explanation for the very short timeout times for cURL: "If you want cURL to timeout in less than one second, you can use CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, although there is a bug/"feature" on "Unix-like systems" that causes libcurl to timeout immediately if the value is < 1000 ms with the error "cURL Error (28): Timeout was reached"." you can read more here, posting of Steve Kamerman: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php. The bottom line of this is to use CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL on unix systems. I think you shold integrated this option in GS.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1);
2.
Accessing common websites via cURL from my webhoster works.

4. Looks like 100ms timeout is too short. Maybe it would be best to make this option configurable via gsconfig.
Even if i only try to get the GS website i get this:
