Subject: Net::HTTP Timeout

Yes, I have read the previous thread (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/ 
105212), but I have one small question:

Would it be so terribly bad to change it from:
 >> def rbuf_fill
 >>       timeout(@read_timeout)  {
 >>         @rbuf << @io.sysread(1024)
 >>       }
 >> end

to:

 >> def rbuf_fill
 >>       Thread.new  {
 >>         @rbuf << @io.sysread(1024)
 >>       }
 >> end

? Would the uncapturable thread cause me a problem? Timeout runs it  
in another thread anyways, so this is just removing the timeout aspect.
