Title : Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Timeouts
Author(s) : S. Loreto, et al.
Filename : draft-loreto-http-timeout-00.txt
Pages : 12

A Timeout header is defined for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
This end-to-end header informs an origin server and any
intermediaries of the maximum time that a client will await a
response to its request. A server can use this header to ensure that
a timely response is generated. This also identifies requests as
being potentially long-lived, and allows for better resource
allocation for these requests.
A Connection-Timeout header is defined for HTTP. This hop-by-hop
header informs the entity at the other end of a connection of the
maximum time that an idle connection is kept open. This header
improves reliability by providing better information about the idle
connection management policy of HTTP hosts.
