Re: timeouts

Erik,

Yeah, I actually figured out the problem after turning tracing on.  If I
create a preemptive client, I cannot later set preemptive to off which
will create a non-blocking socket.  I used newNoCacheClient and now it's
working as I desired.

Btw, I believe HTHost_setEventTimeout is in milliseconds.
