In my application I have a set of parameters to configure the timeouts. For instance, for 30 sec for connect timeout and 45 second for whole request timeout in resulting event log I would see messages like: ... Message failed. 30 sec timeout occurred. ... Message failed. 45 sec timeout occurred. The end user asks why there are different timeouts and It is difficult to explain that in some cases connect timeout occurred and request timeout in other. It would be great if I could have: Message failed. Connect timeout (30 sec). Message failed. Request timeout (45 sec). Do you agree? I think this is more user-friendly.
