#
# This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without
# keep-alive support.
#
+# Notes:
+#
+# Note that reusing connections doesn't necessary cause
+# speedups. There are also a few privacy implications you should
+# be aware of.
+#
+# Outgoing connections are shared between clients (if there are
+# more than one) and closing the client that initiated the outgoing
+# connection does not affect the connection between Privoxy and
+# the server unless the client's request hasn't been completed
+# yet. If the outgoing connection is idle, it will not be closed
+# until either Privoxy's or the server's timeout is reached. While
+# it's open, the server knows that the system running Privoxy is
+# still there.
+#
# Examples:
#
# keep-alive-timeout 300
#
# Effect if unset:
#
-# A default value of 180 seconds is used.
+# A default value of 300 seconds is used.
+#
+# Notes:
+#
+# For SOCKS requests the timeout currently doesn't start until
+# the SOCKS server accepted the request. This will be fixed in
+# the next release.
#
# Examples:
#
-# socket-timeout 180
+# socket-timeout 300

-socket-timeout 180
