Re: [hobbit] Different timeouts per HTTP check

[Larry Barber <lebarber (at) gmail.com>]

Using NET: the way I specified works fine, I have a similar situation, a few
very slow web pages that tend to time out with the default settings, and
that is how I handle the problem. I just use NET: to specify a different
instance of bbtest-net, one with a longer timeout.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
