Bug Description
'urllib2' has introduced a configurable 'timeout' setting by assigning
to the 'timeout' attribute of the urllib2.Request object. However the
implementation is flawed:
- the 'timeout' attribute is set in OpenerDirector.
- if someone overrides OpenerDirector.
this), then the 'timeout' attribute will never be set, breaking
other parts of the code which require the 'timeout' attribute to be
present.
A simple workaround for this would be to:
a) define the 'timeout' attribute as socket.

This bug should be fixed by the next release from the trunk of zope.testbrowser, as the trunk now depends on mechanize 0.2.0, now fully Python 2.6 compatible.
