Time out when using HTTP.request

[remedisbetty]

When I used the HTTP.request to send job to client servers, I get a response of timeout and connection closed after 60s. While, it seems that the option readtimeout doesn't work.

timeout_error.txt

Julia 1.0.3
HTTP.jl 0.8#master

I experience the same

using HTTP, Dates, Printf

server_s = "http://127.0.0.1:8081/"
conf = (readtimeout = 10,
         retry = false,
         verbose=100)
t = time()
r = HTTP.request("GET", server_s * "health?sleep=120"; conf... )
println(@sprintf("timed out in %.1f sec", time()-t))

I have an endpoint which can sleep for what I asked it to before returning. so above code gives
timed out in 64.8 sec
and the actual error message

ERROR: HTTP.ExceptionRequest.StatusError(408, HTTP.Messages.Response:

""")

at the same time if I create a server in python (aiohttp). I see that it http.get will happily wait 120sec

So looks like there are 2 problems

1. readtimeout is not respected on request side
2. server side is doing something different compared to say aihttp in python, triggering the timeout.

I use
HTTP v0.8.0
server runs on
Bukdu v0.4.3
Julia 1.1.0
Windows 10

#2 from my list is solved. apparently there is readtimeout on the server side. so if I start server like this
Bukdu.start(port, readtimeout = 120) my http request will not get me 408 for 120 sec.

So the question remains. is readtimeout only a server side setting or it meant to work in the client side as well? if it meant to work on the HTTP.request, it doesn't look it works.

[remedisbetty]

If the readtimeout works on the server side, why does it close the connection within 60s, while my time restriction is 900s?

This was solved in #393, either ensure you have the dev version or wait until the next tag.

A new release has been tagged w/ the fix in #393; please report back here if you're still seeing issues: client or server side.
