> Can we consider increasing the timeout value at the bottom of o.c.common.util.WebResource.java?  I am using a timeout of 3 seconds in And Bible and it seems to have helped connection reliability.
> I suspect the timeout was originally 2 seconds because there is a comment half way down the file (which probably needs correcting) that says:
>         // Set a 2 second timeout on getting a connection.
> and then the code sets the timeout to 0.75 sec.
> Mobile phones have very variable connections and some informal tests seemed to show that increasing the timeout to 3 seconds had a beneficial affect.
> Alternatively, another possibility might be to add a static setter:
>    public static void setTimeout(int timeout)
