[issue45795] urllib http client vulnerable to DOS attack

Maximum time in seconds that you allow the whole operation to take. This is useful for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours due to slow networks or links going down. Since 7.32.0, this option accepts decimal values, but the actual timeout will decrease in accuracy as the specified timeout increases in decimal precision.

If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.

Examples:

 curl --max-time 10 https://example.com
 curl --max-time 2.92 https://example.com
