Does anyone have any more info on why SocketReadTimeout came into

One of the core developers discovered that there are some ssl proxy servers on a particular ISP that take longer to respond than the (previously hard-coded) 1 second default. If you have this problem with some of your customers then setting this value to something higher than 5 or so will allow those proxy servers to work. On the downside it can also make IC more vulnerable to a certain type of DOS attack so you shouldn't adjust this unless you really need to.
