Is iotimeout:= to the number of seconds a time out will occur in or ms
or is it a off and on option 1 means it will timeout...

I can find no to little doc on it.

It is simply delegated to underlying TInetSocket instance, which in
turn calls setsockopt with that value for both SO_RCVTIMEO and
SO_SNDTIMEO. The corresponding code:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i   {$ifdef
windows}  opt := AValue;  E:=fpsetsockopt(Handle, SOL_SOCKET,
SO_RCVTIMEO, @opt, 4)<>0;  if not E then    E:=fpsetsockopt(Handle,
SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, @opt, 4)<>0;  {$endif windows}  {$ifdef
unix}  time.tv_sec:=avalue div 1000;  time.tv_usec:=(avalue mod 1000)
* 1000;  E:=fpsetsockopt(Handle, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, @time,
sizeof(time))<>0;  if not E then    E:=fpsetsockopt(Handle,
SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, @time, sizeof(time))<>0;  {$endif}  if E
then    Raise ESocketError.Create(seIOTimeout,[AValue]); Reading it
(unix part) easily says that the value is in milliseconds unit.
Windows one although differs in parameter, behaves the same (find
SO_SNDTIMEO in this page).

We still lack documentation for a lot of (DRY supporting) things, but
the source code is there and won't lie, so you can always inspect it
yourself.
