John,
While not entirely impossible to implement using classic IO model, the
support for a 'user' timeout would require a lot of _really_ ugly code.
It is by far better to implement a controller thread that aborts the
execution of methods if a certain condition is met.
The story is completely different for the NIO (non-blocking IO, that
is). It should be fairly uncomplicated to keep track of total tome spent
executing an operation when a channel selector is being employed. We
might consider adding the total timeout for HttpComponents HttpNIO
module
