ruby restclient default timeout

I was looking through the RestClient library, and trying to find the default timeout values. In v1.6.7, I see only a open_timeout and a timeout, but they seem to be only available within the library itself.

Looking through the library code, I am unable to determine what the default values are for these timeouts, nor was I able to figure out how to debug and have it spit out these values. Anyone know how I can get the library to output what these values are?

Part of my issue is most likely due to my beginner knowledge of Ruby, apologies!

Solution

  • From the docs:

    By default the timeout for a request is 60 seconds.

    I only had a quick look at the source but I suspect the timeout value comes from Net::HTTP on which it depends rather than RestClient.
