Bug#497983: http/https inconsistency

[Andreas Wenning <andreas-wenning@kubuntu.org>]

Hi

The problem more specifically is that http and https applies this scheme 
differently. When time-out is set to 10 minutes, using https the connection is 
closed after 10 minutes, while http gladly continues.

I have read the docs and according to those https behaves correctly and http 
is wrong here. So the option is either to fix http to apply the time-out 
(default being 10 minutes IIRC; this seems like a very bad choice unless 
default is changed at the same time), or to change the docs and https 
accordingly.

One suggestion is to differentiating between the connection and data timeouts.

Regards,
Andreas
