I've more or less given an example about the mechanics of http. Maybe
I've misled you by phrasing the example this way. On the other hand you
are right: If OpenSTA times out waiting for a response, that does not
mean, that the action caused by the request does not happen - e.g. an
order might be placed even though the client chooses not to wait any
longer for the result. Compare this with ordering at a restaurant: Place
an order and wait. If you wait long enough and then leave the
restaurant, you can't tell if your meal will be delivered when you're
gone - maybe it will, maybe it wont. The same applies to http
requests/responses.

Have you tried Bernies reference to
http://www.google.com/search?q=opensta+timeout and read a few of the
articles?

Cheers,
Olaf
