Configurable default timeout for HttpMessageInvoker

[danielcandea]

New Feature

Enable configurability of the default timeout for MessageInvokerPool.
Functions of new properties:

• A global timeout in the FileGlobalConfiguration section would set a default timeout value for all routes, applicable to both QoS and non-QoS scenarios.
• A local, route-level timeout in FileRoute settings would take precedence, allowing for the overriding of the global default value.

Motivation for New Feature

Setting a custom default global timeout is simpler than configuring QoS settings for each handler, particularly when multiple handlers are defined.

Notes

There is an undocumented Timeout property at the route level that is not implemented:

Ocelot/src/Ocelot/Configuration/File/FileRoute.cs

Line 75 in cc8f5c5

public int Timeout { get; set; }

@RaynaldM Useful?
Could your team develop this feature please?

The issue has been shifted to the current monthly May-June'24 release to provide your team with ample time for development.

[raman-m]

@danielcandea Do you have intention to contribute?

[danielcandea]

@raman-m I'm not in the team using Ocelot anymore, for a long time now. The file I mentioned doesn't exist anymore, I would need to get familiar with the code again, after almost four years.
I can't commit time at the moment but would love to give this a go at some point in in the future. If this isn't ok for you, I'm happy to close this.

@danielcandea Thanks for the feedback!
This issue will not be closed. We will develop it within the current May-June'24 milestone.
