[En-Nut-Discussion] Socket timeout

[Alexander Baranov]

Hello, Harald,
Please, explain, does 'no timeout' mean infinite waiting or immediate
release? If I set timeout, will I eliminate possible infinite waiting loops
or - vice a versa -  aggravate the situation. I'm sorry for such
persistence, but I cannot verify it for sure, because sometimes the
connection is good and sometimes it hangs without obvious reasons.
Regards, Alex
