copied!<p>Apache got a parameter called Timeout.</p> <p>Its manual page ( <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#timeout" rel="nofollow">Apache Core - Timeout Directive</a> ) states:</p> <blockquote> <p>The TimeOut directive defines the length of time Apache will wait for I/O in various circumstances:</p> <ol> <li>When reading data from the client, the length of time to wait for a TCP packet to arrive if the read buffer is empty.</li> <li>When writing data to the client, the length of time to wait for an acknowledgement of a packet if the send buffer is full.</li> <li>In mod_cgi, the length of time to wait for output from a CGI script.</li> <li>In mod_ext_filter, the length of time to wait for output from a filtering process.</li> <li>In mod_proxy, the default timeout value if ProxyTimeout is not configured.</li> </ol> </blockquote> <p>I think you fell into case <strong>NUMBER ONE</strong></p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>I was lurking into W3 HTTP document and I found no refer to timeouts.</p> <p>but into the chapter 8 (connections) I found:</p> <p><a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8" rel="nofollow">8.1.4 Practical Considerations</a></p> <p><em>Servers will <strong>usually</strong> have some time-out value beyond which they will no longer maintain an inactive connection. (...) The use of persistent connections places no requirements on the length (or existence) of this time-out for either the client or the server.</em></p> <p>that sounds to me like "every server or client is free to choose his behaviour about inactive connection timeouts"</p>
