getting timeout with load URL

[Phil Davis]

Hi Jim and others,

My comment here moves us away from the original issue a bit, but...

As far as I can tell, the socketTimeoutInterval doesn't seem to interact 
with the 'load' command. At least, the 'socketTimeout' message isn't 
sent when 'load' exceeds the socketTimeoutInterval. That's my 
experience. Am I missing something?

Thanks -
Phil Davis
