Thanks for your reply Rainer. I have had a read of that (very helpful) document but I guess what I was wondering was if socket_timeout would close a socket purely due to inactivity. The doc mentions timing out on 'operations', which I would take to mean establishing a connection or waiting for an ACK but actually it does seem to drop the connection purely because it's inactive.
