idle-timeout is the timeout after which *libsoup* closes the connection (which,
as mentioned above, defaults to "never" in this case). libsoup is already doing
everything it can to keep the connection open, so if the server wants to close
it, there's nothing you can do.

(Well, ok, that's not true. You could sent a dummy request like "HEAD /" every
N seconds to keep the connection non-IDLE. But you certainly shouldn't do that
forever.)
