How could it easily take more than 10 seconds end-to-end to read the headers? For example let's assume we have request headers of 4000 bytes (which is bigger than average) and a dial up connection of 56 kbps. The headers should transfer in 0.57 seconds (not accounting for slow start and other TCP/IP oddities). Assuming a 300% error margin for the end-to-end to read, we're still only at 1.71 seconds. So it seems like setting "RequestReadTimeout header=10" should be plenty high but obviously it's not because at 10 seconds we get many false hits but we don't understand why. What am I missing?
