Timeout error - should it be handled by auto-retry stuff?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I get the following traceback occasionally.  I'm wondering whether this 
should be handled using the auto-retry stuff?

timeout: timed out

I don't think I'd want to automatically retry timed out requests, as the call 
has probably blocked long enough at 
that point, and a timeout oftne points at a configuration problem.

Maybe it should be possible to configure the auto-retry behavior.

For me, adding errno.ECONNABORTED to ecode acceptable error numbers had solved
timeout issue. 

Will be provided some custom control for such situations in future?

Retry timeouts and the errors that are considered retryable can now be 
configured via a couchdb.http.Session that is passed to the Server or Database 
instance.

In fact, by default, ECONNABORTED will cause one immediate retry before raising 
an exception.
