This very much depends on your application and requirements (and your definition of "nicely" :-)), but I'd argue that it rarely make sense to handle this at the TCP Connection level (just to think about browsers opening multiple connections, HTTP/1.0 or /1.1 compliant browsers, proxies etc.) A

*Scratches head*. Isn't it possible to just timestamp every request in a list of running requests, and in the beginning of each request check how long the currently processing requests have been running, and if that sum is above a specified time, fail? OK, you get the problem that images may not l
