Reduce default timeout to 300 seconds all around. Not reduced further 

because there are still likely some odd snippets of code that don't
properly reset the timer.

We plan on making these separately configurable at some point down the

road.  1200 is very generous - you may consider turning it down to

something smaller if you find the server getting swamped by

half-completed connections from buggy browsers.

road.  The timer used to default to 1200 before 1.2, but has been

lowered to 300 which is still far more than necessary in most

situations.  It is not set any lower by default because there may

still be odd places in the code where the timer is not reset when

a packet is sent.
