Connection Read Timeout

[avalchev]

I don't see how to specify how long server should wait to read the message from client's socket.

Not sure if this is possible.

I think currently requires some boilerplate.

You'd need to wrap asio's socket and some timer object. I'll use this issue to track any abstraction that I add to improve the situation.

Apache HTTPD has two options for reading timeouts.

First option is time for filling socket buffer from socket. Attacker can send half of header data and stop. This will make read wait forever - DDoS.

Second option is time for reading next request from pipelined messages (Connection: keep-alive). Attack is of same type. As far as I know, Apache HTTPD defaults to 5 sec.
