connection/socket timeout has an infinite value?

[jonua]

Looks like the URLFetcher has a default values (infinite) for a connection/socket timeout. Right?

[stevehu]

Yes. The fetcher is a very simple implementation and assumes a lot of conditions. We should create an exception upon timeout and convert it into a validation error somehow. Do you have any better ideas?

[jonua]

In my implementation of a custom URLFetcher I use a unirest instance with timeout. But this is hardly a good idea for a library - additional dependency will complicate implementation

@this is good enough. I just want the users to know that the default implementation is simple and works for normal scenarios; however, it doesn't handle all possible exceptions. There is a way to substitute with customized implementations. I will write a document for this. Thanks.
