From 1ddce36dfc0fd944310f6319efc26fe4dee7cbb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Orton Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:45:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update Timeout section, the semantics changed completely since 1.3 and the caveats on signals not being reset thankfully no longer apply either. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@641855 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68 --- docs/manual/mod/core.html.en | 31 +++++++++++++++++-------------- docs/manual/mod/core.xml | 31 +++++++++++++++++-------------- 2 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/manual/mod/core.html.en b/docs/manual/mod/core.html.en index f37d43c18b..801a94e891 100644 --- a/docs/manual/mod/core.html.en +++ b/docs/manual/mod/core.html.en @@ -3002,26 +3002,29 @@ certain events before failing a request Status:Core Module:core -

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