ASP.NET MVC and httpRuntime executionTimeout

Question

I would like to increase the httpRuntime executionTimeout for a subsection of an ASP.NET MVC application.

In a regular Web App, you could use:

<configuration>   <location path="UploadPage.aspx">     <httpRuntime executionTimeout="600"/>   </location> </configuration> 

However there really is not the idea of "Folders" in ASP.NET MVC, so how would I go about doing this?

Lets assume the ASP.NET MVC path is /Images/Upload with an ImagesController and Upload Action.

Answer 1

You can include the whole MVC path (controller and action) in the <location> tag's path attribute. Something like this should work:

<location path="Images/Upload">     <system.web>         <httpRuntime executionTimeout="600" />     </system.web> </location> 

Answer 2

Chris Hynes solution works! Just be sure to not include ~/ in your path.

This answer details another way - simply set the ScriptTimeout within your action code:

public ActionResult NoTimeout() {     HttpContext.Server.ScriptTimeout = 60 * 10; // Ten minutes..     System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000 * 60 * 5); // Five minutes..     return Content("NoTimeout complete", "text/plain"); // This will return.. }
