Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users who   *
*                 use IHS/Apache webserver.                    *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The timeout directive specified         *
*                      in the httpd.conf file was not being    *
*                      honored by the WAS plugins.             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The timeout directive specified in the httpd.conf file was
not being honored by the WAS plugins.  Network problems
could halt servlet processing indefinitely once enough of the
webserver thread were blocking on IO between the webserver
and the web browser due to the network problems.
Problem conclusion
Updated the plugins to honor the timeout directive.  With this
fix the plugins will only block on IO requests for as long
as the Timeout directive is set in the httpd.conf.
