Resolution
This behaviour can be easily resolved with the .timeout() option:
Future main(List args) async {
var slowUrl = args.first;
var httpClient = io.HttpClient();
var request = await httpClient.getUrl(Uri.parse(slowUrl));
try {
var response = await request
.close()
.then(
() => print('Got response'),
)
.timeout(
const Duration(seconds: 10),
);
} on TimeoutException catch () {
print('Timed out');
request.abort();
}
}
