1 <option name="connectionTimeout" value="123"/>
2 <option name="httpclient.connectionTimeout" value="123"/>
1 hides an implementation detail, 2 doesn't.
Not sure, whether we want to hide it or not.
I don't really have a favourite here - maybe a slight
preference for 1.
and additionally (if no option is set) we could look at ant (or
system) property
"webtest.config.connectionTimeout".
Again, both is ok for me. Maybe System property is better aligned
with general handling of connection properties in the JDK.
