Request Timeouts

An HTTP request timeout can be specified globally in preferences.

From preferences, update your HTTP request timeout settings.

Set and change HTTP request timeout options in preferences.

  • Set it to 0 to signify that a request should never time out.
  • Set it to a positive number of milliseconds to have the request automatically cancel after the specified time.
