ReadTimeoutHandler behavior validation

["Trustin Lee (이희승)"]

Hi Shay,

If the client does not send anything within 30 seconds since it sent the
previous request, ReadTimeoutHandler will raise an exception so that you
can close the connection.

However, nobody stops the client from sending another request.  It's not
even protocol violation since HTTP allows pipelining.  In such a case,
you will not get an exception within 30 seconds.

HTH,
Trustin
