Socat timeout

Therefore it should be set higher than the server-side timeouts. The default value is 12 seconds. For truncate queries (where the server timeout is 60 seconds) or aggregate queries (where read_request_timeout_in_ms applies per page of processed data, not to the whole query), you can increase the timeout on a specific statement:
In python 2.6, the timeout attribute of the socket from various higher level modules (like urllib2) is passed as socket._GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT. If you look at socket.py in Lib, you will find that _GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = object() a) This kind of a construct was new to me, why should _GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT be set to an object() than say None.
