Re: timeout for "socket"?

Im using "socket" for checking, if the site is "alive", just:

catch { socket $site 80 } err

...if "alive", then just "close $err" follows.

But I'm wondering, what about poor Internet connection case? Could be
possible to set longer timeout? How?

Have a look at the wiki for 'port scanning' - what you want to use is
a combination of [socket -async] and [after]
