It's taken a while, but a feature request I logged 2 years ago has finally made it to Drupal trunk. (The basic idea was to put a timeout on Drupal HTTP requests to other systems, to prevent a whole Drupal site timing out if one of its requests to another site hung - prompted by working on AllConsuming and Last.fm modules for Drupal.) My original patch was promptly rejected, but it's been fascinating watching the discussion around the idea over the months, culminating in a well-rounded, properly-tested patch landing in CVS.
