server.write_timeout

[albertv]

Hi,

I've added a config option that sets the socket's timeout. This bit me
when users tried to download 2-20MB files on our campus network: IE
sometimes paused for more than the default timeout of 10 seconds. The
server then closes the connection, and IE just rolls over and saves
what it has downloaded up to that point. The downloaded file is then
incomplete.

Setting the timeout to 60 seconds solved the problem.

This patch is against https://svn.cherrypy.org/trunk
