The httimed handler starts a single child handler which it passes all request it receives unmodified, and in addition keeps track of time and simply exits if no requests are received in a certain interval, which might be useful for handlers which are only rarely used and waste unproportionally much system resources if kept beyond their usefulness.
httimed is a persistent handler, as defined in ashd(7), and the specified child handler must also be a persistent handler.
By default, httimed exits if it receives no requests in five minutes, but the time interval can be specified using the -t option.
If the child handler exits, httimed exits as well.
