The server did not receive a complete request message within the time that it
was prepared to wait.
A server SHOULD send the "close" connection option<sup>[1](#ref-1)</sup>
in the response, since 408 implies that the server has decided to close the
connection rather than continue waiting. If the client has an outstanding
request in transit, the client MAY repeat that request on a new connection.
