Timeout value for sync request

[slipeer]

According Requests doc it accept timeout parameter in seconds.
But in api.py#L78 to this parameter passed huge value 30000 sec = 8.3 hours from api.py#L63
I think line api.py#L78 must be like: "timeout": timeout_ms/1000.0

AFIAK the timeout in api.py#L78 has nothing to do with the timeout of requests. This timeout is only passed to the matrix server. It is the timeout until the matrix server will send an answer.

See here and here.

This number is only passed onto the server. It is the maximum amount of time the server will let the connection hang, if no events arrive. In a word, we're long-polling here. The value should indeed be in milliseconds. See https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#get-matrix-client-r0-sync

I think this issue can be closed.
