Oleg,
What I want to do is unblock if I don't have the entire response in x seconds,
where x = time needed to connect to the server plus the time needed to recieve
the entire response. Can you please suggest a way to do this? Can you show me
with an example?
Thanks in advance.

Not quite. If you set the socket timeout to, say, 10 sec, and there's a
packet coming every 9 secs, the connection will never time out. The
socket timeout only ensures that if there's no data coming FOR 10 sec,
the socket will stop blocking.
Hope this helps
Oleg
