It is therefore safe to set a very aggressive input timeout while maintaining a less aggressive output timeout.

	You set the <var>INPUTTIMEOUT</var> parameter in the port definition by following it by the number of seconds to be used as the timeout limit for receiving an HTTP request. This is the maximum length of time ''Janus Web Server'' will wait while no data is received from the client, '''not''' the time for the entire request to be received. This distinction is important in big uploads being performed via HTTP. A low <var>INPUTTIMEOUT</var> should not cause these requests to time out, as long as the upload moves along at a fairly steady rate, even if the time required for the upload is significantly longer than the <var>INPUTTIMEOUT</var> value.
