There is an issue with the optional parameter timeout (-to):

If the parameter is NOT set, according to the documentation, the default value should be set to 3600 (1 hour). But the value 3600 is not internally converted to milliseconds as it should be when a minute value is passed. This conversion only takes place if the parameter is passed.

Consequence: If the parameter is not passed, the timeout is 3600ms instead of 3600s.
