Scotty simply waits until the operating system cuts the connection.
It should be possible to modify the implementation of the http command
to initialize a timer event that cancels an active request. However,
this would be much simpler if the implementation of the http command
itself was completely event driven. This change is not very high on my
TODO list so you have to hack your own solution for now,
