http timeouts

Are there any plans to handle timeouts on HTTP?
What would this take to implement?

I could really use this.  I seem to have a test
with an http request that likes to lockup,
and so it locks up my entire test suite.

I did read the FAQ, it says:
How does HttpUnit handle request timeouts?
Badly. Unfortunately, through JDK 1.3, HttpURLConnection (used
by HttpUnit to access web servers) has no support for timeouts.
Supposedly, this is changed in JDK 1.4, but HttpUnit does not
support the new feature as yet.

Seems it was actually implemented in JDK 1.5
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URLConnection.html#setReadTimeout%28int%29

so it should be doable.

Thank you,
Dan
