  22. I have a Kermit data collection script that, among other things,
  23. retrieves a file via HTTP.  I am having trouble with the HTTP GET
  24. command failing with a timeout every once in a while.
  25.  
  26. The data I'm getting from the HTTP server isn't critical and so I'd
  27. like to set a short timeout on the HTTP GET operation so my whole data
  28. collection operation doesn't get held up waiting.
  29.  
  30. How does one set the timeout for the HTTP GET operation?
  31.  
  32. Thanks.
