SocketReadTimeout

Modify the socket read timeout value.

Synopsis

The parameter is expected to be a number of seconds, expressed as a positive integer.  The default timeout value is "1".

Scope

This directive is only available for use in the global (interchange.cfg) configuration file, and will affect all websites running under the Interchange installation.  It will not work in a website's local (catalog.cfg) configuration file. 

Availability This directive was introduced in version 5.5.2, and is therefore not available for use with any earlier Interchange version.

Description

This directive is used to configure the amount of time (in seconds) that Interchange will wait for incoming request data to arrive on an open socket.

Warning The one second default should not be changed unless you are having a problem with users on slow connections (dialup, for instance), leading to "read: closed" errors in your global error.log file.

Note A zero timeout value would usually be taken to mean "wait forever".  That is considered dangerous in this context, so a zero timeout value will be silently changed into a one second timeout.
