 Some notes on the interaction between socket blocking and timeouts:
-socket blocking mode takes precendence over timeouts. If a socket
-if set to non-blocking mode, then timeouts set on sockets are never
-don't mean anything. The timeout value associated with the socket
-can still be set via settimeout and its value retrieved via gettimeout,
-but the timeout is never enforced (i.e, an exception will never be
-thrown). Otherwise, if the socket is in blocking mode, setting the
-timeout will raise an exception as expected.
