4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin Allow at least 10 seconds to receive the request body.
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin If the client sends data, increase the timeout by 1 second for every
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin 1000 bytes received, with no upper limit for the timeout (except for

9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf If the client sends data, increase the timeout by 1 second for every

4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin Usually, a server should have both header and body timeouts configured.

4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin <p>This directive can set various timeouts for receiving the request headers
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin and the request body from the client. If the client fails to send headers or
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin body within the configured time, a <code>408 REQUEST TIME OUT</code> error
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin is sent.</p>
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin <p>For SSL virtual hosts, the header timeout values include the time needed
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin to do the initial SSL handshake. If the user's browser is configured to
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin query certificate revocation lists and the CRL server is not reachable, the
fac8c35bfb158112226ab43ddf84d59daca5dc30nd initial SSL handshake may take a significant time until the browser gives up
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin waiting for the CRL. Therefore the header timeout values should not be set
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin to very low values for SSL virtual hosts.
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin The body timeout values include the time needed for SSL renegotiation
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin (if necessary).</p>
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin <p>When an <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#acceptfilter">AcceptFilter</a></code> is in use
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin (usually the case on Linux and FreeBSD), the socket is not sent to the
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin server process before at least one byte (or the whole request for
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin <code>httpready</code>) is received. The header timeout configured with
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin <code>RequestReadTimeout</code> is only effective after the server process has
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin received the socket.</p>
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin <p>For each of the two timeout types (header or body), there are three ways
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin to specify the timeout:
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin <div class="example"><p><code><var>type</var>=<var>timeout</var></code></p></div>
7f0952c0239ea2d6e37b472db6fde4ef2718343dsf <p>The time in seconds allowed for reading all of the request headers or
4277c95b5a9454a5c25f8d8762634fcff37aa840minfrin body, respectively. A value of 0 means no limit.</p>

c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin <p>Same as above, but whenever data is received, the timeout value is
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin increased according to the specified minimum data rate (in bytes per
c1e61f5534383913a1cb952f927348037b1c1922minfrin second).</p>
