Change request timeout

[mbahaa]

According to this: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_request_settimeout_timeout_callback
http sockets are automatically closed after 120 seconds of inactivity by default, how is it possible to send an http RPC request throught jayson with any desired timeout (more than 120 seconds of course)

I used:

this.rpcClient = jayson.client.http({
port: port,
hostname: ip
});

this.rpcClient.on('http request', function(req){
req.setTimeout(VALUE) ;
});

but did not work for me

707c714 sees too it that http requests that timeout automatically abort. So you will get an error when this happens. See the added test in the referred commit for a working example quite similar to your own.
