Description Dominik Röttsches 2012-08-27 14:41:07 UTC 
In order to implement XHR2's timeout functionality in WebKit, the underlying HTTP library should support a timeout per sent-out HTTP request. Currently, according to Dan, this is not available as a feature of libsoup.
Comment 1 Dan Winship 2012-08-28 13:12:24 UTC 
so, note that this would essentially boil down to g_timeout_add() + soup_session_cancel_message(), and there's no reason webkit couldn't just do that itself instead...
Comment 2 Dominik Röttsches 2012-08-28 13:26:06 UTC 
Thanks for your feedback - yes, we can do that in ResourceHandleSoup, you think it makes more sense to do it on top of libsoup, and not inside?
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2012-08-30 12:27:00 UTC 
I guess it boils down to whether or not other apps are likely to need per-message as opposed to per-session timeouts. And that doesn't seem like a very common use case. So maybe it's better to just do it in WebKit.
Comment 4 Dominik Röttsches 2012-09-04 18:51:48 UTC 
Alright, I have a patch to implement that in ResourceHandleSoup in WebKit.
