[New-bugs-announce] [issue39224] HTTPConnection.timeout None support

[Daniel Farley]

New submission from Daniel Farley <danfarley93 at gmail.com>:

HTTPConnection's `timeout` argument is passed down to `socket.settimeout()` which supports `None` and puts the socket in blocking mode. This isn't documented on the `http.client` page. Otherwise it should not be allowed.
