              Item Group:         Feature Request => Regression

Follow-up Comment #1:

This is a regression from Octave 4.2 when the signal handling stack was
refactored. The url_transfer::perform method is labeled as being interruptible
in a foreign library, but it no longer is with the current signal handling
approach.

Maybe there is a way to rewrite url_transfer::perform so that the request is
performed non-blocking with a callback or some kind of sentinel that can be
polled for completion in an interruptible loop?
