- ``timeout`` only affects the connection process itself, not the
- downloading of the response body.

+ rather, an exception is raised if the server does has not issued a
+ response for ``timeout`` seconds (more precisely, if no bytes have been
+ received on the underlying socket for ``timeout`` seconds).
