The webservices do not specify any values for timeouts. I'm not > sure whether the HTTP protocol has such definitions, but I would be > surprised if it had. If using the HTTP protocol, it's possible to define a refresh time of x seconds using a meta-tag: <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="3;URL='http://www.homepage.com/spot3.html'"> This is quite popular with webcams and such. But this is of course not the definition of a timeout value, you would have to know when the next value is due.
