Facundo Batista <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: When the semantics of timout in htmllib (and the other libraries) were discussed, the community approved the following behaviour:
- setdefaulttimeout() was a hack to allow to set the timeout when nothing else is available. - Now that you can pass the timeout when creating the connection, you shouldn't use the default setting. So, as to enhance practicality and ease to use, when you pass a timeout value it will set up the timeout in the socket. When you don't pass anything, or pass None, it will not set anything. And if you set previously a default value, you can not override it through this parameter: you shouldn't been setting the default in first place.
