HTTPService and requestTimeout connection issue.

Question

I could really use some help with using the requestTimeout with HTTPService. I have successfully coded the timeout to 10 seconds and tested it with a long running http request. After 10 seconds the fault listener does execute properly. The trouble I have been observing is extreme delays when other HTTPServices starting and completing. There were major delays with them finishing their http request. At this point I fired up the fiddler web debugger. It appears that the http request does not disconnect after the timeout logic is called in actionscript. I have also tried the HTTPServices disconnect method in the fault listener. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Here is my test  code: private var httpService:HTTPService = null; private function  TestTimeOut():void
httpService = new HTTPService();
httpService.url = "http://someurl";
httpService.method = "post";
httpService.resultFormat = "e4x";
httpService.requestTimeout = 10;
httpService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onFaultHttpService);
httpService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,  onResultHttpService);
httpService.send();
} protected function onResultHttpService(e:ResultEvent):void
Alert.show("Success.");
} protected function onFaultHttpService(e:FaultEvent):void
httpService.disconnect();
Alert.show("Failed.");
