Only (IMO) if you were to try to exit Emacs so quickly that the process
was still waiting for the URL response at that time.
I wasn't clear about that, but I was leaving ample time for the process
to receive a response before using C-x C-c (at least several seconds,
for
a request which was taking less than 1 second when no shorter timeout
was
set).

My bug report was only about the query-on-exit behaviour, but... killing
the process if it times out might a good idea -- or a good thing to be
able to specify optionally?
