Time-outs with HTTPS

[Mark Smith]

I've been using https from Rev with a SOAP based service, and it  
works, but timeouts are frequent. At the beginning, I was getting  
about 50% of requests timing out, but over the three months or so  
I've been running the app (logging results), on average I've been  
getting about 12% of requests timing out. I've had the timeout  
interval at various settings.

12% seems a high, but it's been usable in my application, though it  
seems like there's some issue with either libURL or the way Rev uses  
the SSL library...

Best,

Mark
