Clarify meaning of Timeout.

<strong>Context:</strong> server config<br>

<strong>Status:</strong> core<p>

The TimeOut directive sets the maximum time that the server will wait

for the receipt of a request and the completion of a request, in seconds.

So if it takes more than TimeOut seconds for a client to send a request or

receive a response, the server will break off the connection. Thus TimeOut

limits the maximum a transfer can take; for large files, and slow networks

transfer times can be large.

The TimeOut directive currently defines the amount of time Apache will

wait for three things:

<OL>

  <LI>The total amount of time it takes to receive a GET request.

  <LI>The amount of time between receipt of TCP packets on a POST or

      PUT request.

  <LI>The amount of time between ACKs on transmissions of TCP packets 

      in responses.

</OL>

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.
