HTTP client timeout and server timeout

Question

According to this question  Where can I find the default timeout settings for all browsers  each every browser has a default setting for time out  The default timeout in Firefox17  after checking about config is 115s  However I have tested to run some request in which I timed and it returned a request after  150  seconds   So I wonder how does it works  shouldn t Firefox have timed out before

There s many forms of timeout  are you after the connection timeout  request timeout or time to live  time before TCP connection stops    The default TimeToLive on Firefox is 115s  network http keep-alive timeout   The default connection timeout on Firefox is 250s  network http connection-retry-timeout   The default request timeout for Firefox is 30s  network http pipelining read-timeout    The time it takes to do an HttpRequest depends on if a connection has been made this has to be within 250s which I m guessing you re not after  You re probably after the request timeout which I think is 30 000ms  30s  so to conclude I d say it s timing out with a connection time out that s why you got a response back after  150s though I haven t really tested this
