How can you programmatically insert "requestTimeout="00:30:00" via program.cs, rather than web.config

Question

I have an ASP.NET Core 8 Web API that gets published to IIS on multiple dedicated customer web servers.

Is there a way to insert the:

<aspNetCore requestTimeout="00:30:00".../>

in program.cs?

I tried doing a timeout middleware but it appeared to have ignored the value of the timeout set on the controller, but when I added the

requestTimeout="00:30:00"

in the web.config, that one worked. I want to know if I can do it in program.cs as I do not want to have to have the customer inserting it manually into web.config.

Thanks

You can do this via filter attribute decorated over your API,or you can configure you middle ware with request timeout policy

Decorate over API endpoint [RequestTimeout(milliseconds: 2000)]

Through the middleware

`builder.Services.AddRequestTimeouts(options => {
    options.DefaultPolicy =
        new RequestTimeoutPolicy { Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1500) };
    options.AddPolicy("MyPolicy", TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));
});`
