Hello, we are currently using http-client 4.5 and the fluent API and want to switch to http-client5. For some requests it is important to us to be able to set a timeout in case the server is not responding in time after the request was made by the client.
In 4.5 we used the method “public Request socketTimeout(int timeout)”. The timeout was stored in the RequestConfig and is eventually added to the HttpClientConnection which is used by HttpRequestExecutor. In 5.0 I found responseTimeout in the RequestConfig. Eventually the timeout will be added to a HttpClientConnection used by a ConnectionEndpoint which wraps a HttpRequestExecutor. Is the responseTimeout the right configuration to achieve an early termination of a request? In case it is the right configuration can it be added to the Request in the fluent API or are there any reasons not to add it? If the method sounds useful I can create a Jira issue and make the change. I haven't committed anything to this project yet. What would be the preferred way?
