I don't think socket_timeout is so bad. I think Nagaura-san and I presented the use case, giving an answer to every question and concern. OTOH, it may be better to commit the tcp_user_timeout patch when Nagaura-san has refined the documentation, and then continue socket_timeout. Regards Takayuki Tsunakawa
