%sock-send-timeout(5)

NAME

%sock-send-timeout - Set socket send timeout
%sock-recv-timeout - Set socket receive timeout

SYNOPSIS

%sock-send-timeout "length"; Default is 20sec
%sock-recv-timeout "length"; Default is 300sec

DESCRIPTION

%sock-send-timeout sets the timeout in seconds for sending data, via ftp or http protocols, down a socket. If the variable is set to less than or equal to zero the timeout is infinite.

%sock-recv-timeout sets the timeout in seconds for receiving data, via ftp or http protocols, from a socket. Note that a socket connection may terminate for other reasons, such as the server closing the socket after a defined period of inactivity. If the variable is set to less than or equal to zero the timeout is infinite, i.e. MicroEmacs will hang until a response is received.

NOTES

These variables must be set before the first URL, FTP or HTTP, is loaded, after which a value change to them is ignored.
