I think it's commonly understood, but it doesn't mean what the socket timeout is used for. It's how long a connection can be idle (the client doesn't make a request of the server) before the server will close the connection.
What does idle timeout have to do with urllib2 or any IO layer for that matter? I've only seen it as a very high level server-only feature...
