title: HTTP keep-alive timeout
body: <p>Can I specify the <strong>HTTP timeout</strong> or does the <strong>server</strong> impose a value?
  For example, if I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>telnet my.server.net 80
  Trying X.X.X.X...
  Connected to my.server.net.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  GET /homepage.html HTTP/1.0
  Connection: keep-alive
  Host: my.server.net
  
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  <p>The line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...specifies that there is a <strong>maximum timeout</strong> of 100 seconds, right? How can I set such value?</p>
