-----------------------------------------
Summary: Support to provide complete request/call timeout option
Key: HTTPCLIENT-2169
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2169
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient (async), HttpClient (classic)
Affects Versions: 5.1
Reporter: Nishant Kumar
h4. Description
The httpclient (both sync and sync) supports `connectTimeout`,
`responseTimeout` and `connectionRequestTimeout`. But it doesn't support
complete request or call timeout similar to okhttp `callTimeout`
([link|[https://square.github.io/okhttp/4.x/okhttp/okhttp3/-ok-http-client/-builder/call-timeout/]).]
Based on my understanding the `responseTimeout` is nothing but `readTimeout`
i.e. the maximum time the client will wait for a message to arrive and
theoretically, the total call time can be infinite if the server keeps sending
msg within specified `readTimeout`. It can be problematic if the client wants
to put a hard limit on the complete call time. I believe it's a very common use
case in a low latency system.
*Proposed Solution*
Provide option to user to specify `callTimeout`/`requestTimeout`
