! 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.
