Hi,

nmap_timing() isn't currently working because the nmap_timing field has
been added to nmap lib registry in nse_nmaplib.cc, but it's in a
commented-out section.  I've attached nse_nmaplib.cc.patch in case this
hasn't been done for a reason.
http.lua.patch will add (against current svn and when nmap_timing() is
working) a function to get default timeout values as per Fyodor's
suggestion and sets a timeout (when none is specified in the options
table) for both the connect()  and send() functions.
I've done a few tests and it looks OK.

Regards,

jah
