unsure how to set timeout for a get() request

[klauern]

I'm not sure where I can ask this question, so apologies if this clutters the issue list a bit.

Where/How can I set a timeout for a request? Given the below class, I thgouth I could put it in the options hash along with my :basic_auth settings, but that doesn't seem to affect how long it takes before timing out.

class MyRequest
  include HTTParty

  def initialize(u, p)
    @auth = {:username => u, :password => p}
  end

  def get(path)
    options = {:basic_auth => @auth, :timeout => 120000}  # I didn't know if it would be ms or seconds 
    self.class.get(path, options)
  end

end

Anyone know how to do this?

Looks just fine. We just set the Net::HTTP open_timeout and read_timeout which is measured in seconds.

You can also set a global timeout for all requests

class MyRequest
  include HTTParty
  default_timeout 5
end

Global timeout works like a champ!
