I have a request that takes more than 2 minutes to prepare the data in the backend and transmit it. The angular default time out for the HTTP request observable is 2 minutes. Any idea of how to increase the default timeout?
I read and tried the proposed solution in the following links, but all of them are working if you want to set the timeout less than 2 minutes, and none of them will work for increasing the timeout!!

Can't have a timeout of over 2 minutes with this.http.get?

I didn't get a reply from you in the comments, but I was having this exact issue on my dev machine, and maybe that's happening to you as well.
I was using the proxy config, and the proxy's default timeout is 120 seconds (2 minutes). So, if that's your case, simply define a higher value in the configuration. The timeout must be set in milliseconds (it's set to 6 minutes in the example below).
{
"/api": {
"target": "http://localhost:3000",
"secure": false,
"timeout": 360000
}
}
