I missed this in the last reading of your post.  Yes, HTTP can timeout and
give you an error.  This does happen under stress.

I thought you said in your OP that it would hang and not return any error.

Many developers throttle how much load they will accept and return a
message saying they are overloaded and to come back later.  This way they
stay below the threshold of load where timeouts happen.
