HTTPClientSession::receiveResponse() not timing out on Windows

[MarcusTomlinson]

I have the same code compiled on Windows and macOS:

Poco::Net::HTTPClientSession session( "localhost", 9894 );
session.setTimeout( Poco::Timespan( 0, 100 ) );

...

std::ostream& reqOs = session.sendRequest( req );

...

Poco::Net::HTTPResponse res;
std::istream& resIs = session.receiveResponse( res );

(localhost:9894 waits for 10 seconds in it's HTTPRequestHandler before returning)

On macOS receiveResponse() throws TimeoutException after 100ms as expected, but on Windows it will block for the full 10s and return the stream happily.

Hmmm, so it appears that, if I set the timeout to 1s or more, it works.

I also observed a timeout issues (with SSL connections) on Windows, see #3806 - it could be that these are related

Please state the library and OS versions that your are using and whether you use plain HTTP, HTTPS with NetSSL_Win, or HTTPS with NetSSL_OpenSSL.

I experienced this on Windows 11, using POCO 1.11.3 with plain HTTP.
