Sorry, but i think sending a 408 is wrong: The request timeout is the time the server waits for the client to send an HTTP-Request. If the server reaches that timeout, it should close the connection, not generate a 408. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#page-55 6.5. Failures and Timeouts Indeed, it seems that only httpd sends a 408 in this case, all other servers i tested just close the connection. Same if its waiting for more requests in the keep-alive case. /Benno > > bluhm > > Index: usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.conf.5 > =================================================================== > RCS file: /data/mirror/openbsd/cvs/src/usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.conf.5,v > retrieving revision 1.101 > diff -u -p -r1.101 httpd.conf.5 > --- usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.conf.5 20 Jun 2018 16:43:05 -0000 1.101 > +++ usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.conf.5 25 Sep 2018 22:40:19 -0000 > @@ -247,7 +247,7 @@ The default maximum number of requests p > .It Ic request timeout Ar seconds > Specify the inactivity timeout for HTTP operations between client and server, > for example the maximum time to wait for a request from the client. > -The default timeout is 60 seconds (1 minute). > +The default timeout is 120 seconds (2 minutes). > The maximum is 2147483647 seconds (68 years). > .It Ic timeout Ar seconds > Specify the inactivity timeout in seconds for accepted sessions, > Index: usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.h > =================================================================== > RCS file: /data/mirror/openbsd/cvs/src/usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.h,v > retrieving revision 1.140 > diff -u -p -r1.140 httpd.h > --- usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.h 9 Sep 2018 21:06:51 -0000 1.140 > +++ usr.sbin/httpd/httpd.h 25 Sep 2018 22:40:10 -0000 > @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ > > #define SERVER_MAX_CLIENTS 1024 > #define SERVER_TIMEOUT 600 > -#define SERVER_REQUESTTIMEOUT 60 > +#define SERVER_REQUESTTIMEOUT 120 > #define SERVER_CACHESIZE -1 /* use default size */ > #define SERVER_NUMPROC 3 > #define SERVER_MAXHEADERLENGTH 8192 >
