[boost] Question about asio socket time

hello,

i'm trying to implement a synchronous httprequest - almost everything is 
fine -
but when a host is not reachable the timeout takes pritty long.

is there any change to set the timeout manually or do i have to switch
to an asynchrounus implementation with a deadline timer?

regards
