Description
The TimeOut directive defines the length of time Apache httpd will wait for I/O in various circumstances:
When reading data from the client, the length of time to wait for a TCP packet to arrive if the read buffer is empty.
For initial data on a new connection, this directive doesn't take effect until after any configured AcceptFilter has passed the new connection to the server.
When writing data to the client, the length of time to wait for an acknowledgement of a packet if the send buffer is full.
In mod_cgi, the length of time to wait for output from a CGI script.
In mod_ext_filter, the length of time to wait for output from a filtering process.
In mod_proxy, the default timeout value if ProxyTimeout is not configured.
