double mg_set_timer(struct mg_connection *c, double timestamp);
---
Schedules an MG_EV_TIMER event to be delivered at `timestamp` time.
`timestamp` is UNIX time (the number of seconds since Epoch). It is
`double` instead of `time_t` to allow for sub-second precision.
Returns the old timer value.
Example: set the connect timeout to 1.5 seconds:
```
c = mg_connect(&mgr, "cesanta.com", ev_handler);
mg_set_timer(c, mg_time() + 1.5);
...
void ev_handler(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data) {
switch (ev) {
case MG_EV_CONNECT:
mg_set_timer(c, 0); // Clear connect timer
break;
case MG_EV_TIMER:
log("Connect timeout");
c->flags |= MG_F_CLOSE_IMMEDIATELY;
break;
```
