/*

The Timer class handles timers for libwww and the application. This works
exactly as in X where you create a timer object with a callback function
and a timeout. The callback will be called every time the timer expires.
There are several timeouts that can be set in libwww:

  o 
	     The time we keep an idle persistent connection open. Here there are in fact
	     two mechanisms depending on whether you use blocking or non-blocking sockets.
	     The default is 60 secs. The timers can be accessed using the functions defined
	     in the HTHost object
  o 
	     The idle time we want to wait when receiving a response from a server, that
	     is, if it doesn't send anything in a number of secs. The default here is
	     no timeout. It can be accessed in the
	     HTHost object as well.
  o 
	     The timeout before we flush pending requests in a pipeline, the default here
	     is 30 ms. It is also accessed in the HTHost
    object
  o 
	     The timeout before we start sending the body of a PUT or
    POST request. Normally we send the Expect: 100-continue
    header field but if the server doesn't send back a 100 Continue
    code then we upload the body anyway. The default is 2 secs and can be accessed
    in the HTTP module.
