Comment(by ChristineBao):

 '''Tech Assessment'''
 WMS blocks for return from server till 2 minutes timeout.
 FdoOwsDelegate.cpp shows:

 {{{
     FdoPtr<FdoOwsHttpHandler> httpHandler =
 FdoOwsHttpHandler::Create(mbUrl, bGet, mbRequestString, mbUserName,
 mbPasswd, mbProxyHost, mbProxyPort, mbProxyUserName, mbProxyPassword);

     // Here we use 2 mins as the default value for "connection" timeout.
     httpHandler->SetConnectionTimeout (60 * 2);

     // The Perform call won't return util beginning receiving http
 content.
     // If there are any connection related problems, exceptions
     // thrown out here
     httpHandler->Perform();

 }}}

 The hard-coded timeout value should be pulled outside so that user can
 configure it according to their needs. FDO connection has a capability
 SupportsTimeout(), and Get/SetConnectionTimeout(). So they can be used to
 config the time out value for WMS provider.
