Alexander Dutton updated JENA-218:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
A query endpoint might want to have different timeouts depending on whether 
queries are from untrusted or trusted users, or maintenance processes. The 
timeout could be passed with an X- header, a Timeout header as per 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-loreto-http-timeout-00, or a query parameter, 
respecting the system default if none is provided. The query parameter might be 
less favourable as it'd be harder to filter out for Fuseki instances behind 
Apache.

There is a risk that changing the behaviour to allow timeouts to be overridden 
will lead to DoSs of query endpoints open to the world to some extent. This can 
be mitigated by defaulting to disallowing timeout overrides.

I'm happy to put a patch together and document it at 
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/documentation/serving_data/.
