Description: ------------ The class uses _timeout internally, which you can set using the param "timeout" calling the constructor. There is also _readTimeout (though not yet publically available). But that value is stored in seconds and milliseconds: array(seconds, microseconds). I see that this is a "feature" - but it's not consistent (timeout/readTimeout).

Fixed in CVS: both parameters are now documented. As for incostistency, that's the problem of PHP itself: fsockopen() accepts one float value for a timeout, while socket_set_timeout() accepts two integer values for a timeout. Net_Socket follows that behaviour and so does HTTP_Request.
