Hi a timeout means x amount of time elapsed without any response(i.e. no bytes received). However that doesnt mean the response must complete by that time. for e.g. if you have a timeout of 10 seconds , and the server sends you 1Kb every second for 60 seconds , thats not a timeout since the largest interval of time without data is 1 second.
