I'm sending queries to my server using native fetch from Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox:
fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
body: formData,
credentials: 'include'
})
I set up a server to send a response after 3 minutes and realized that both browsers only wait 2 minutes. Firefox resend the request once more before failing.
Is there a way to define a timeout bigger than 2 minutes (say infinite)?

By default a fetch() request timeouts at the time setup by the browser. In Chrome, for example, this setting equals 300 seconds. That's way longer than a user would expect for a simple network request to complete. A good approach when making network requests is to configure a request timeout of about 8 - 10 seconds.
To set request timeout with Fetch API, we can use the AbortController constructor. const controller = new AbortController(); const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller. abort(), 5000); const req = async () => { const response = await fetch(url, { signal: controller.
The default timeout is 10 seconds. The minimum is 1 millisecond and the maximum is 120 seconds. If the callout is timing out, please try and increase the timeout on the HTTP request to avoid that.
For the API as a whole, you set a timeout of 30 seconds. For /resource1 , you set a 10-second timeout for the resource as a whole, but you also set a 40-second timeout for the POST operation and a 20-second timeout for the GET operation.
As far as I read fetch()'s documentation on MDN, it does not have any way to specify a timeout.
You can use request or axios module if you are using nodejs. or you can use XMLHttpRequest (plain javascript in browser).
