Setting a timeout greater than 0 in webRead() fails with error 500

[raohmaru]

In the global function webRead(url, timeout = 0), if the timeout parameter is greater than 0, then OCTGN answers with the following error and no request is made:

Unknown Error: System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out\r\n at >System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()\r\n at >Octgn.Scripting.Versions.Script_3_1_0_2.DoWebRequest(String url, Int32 timeout, String data)
500

the timeout is in milliseconds, so its possible that the method is correctly timing out before the web page can finish loading? I've tested this and it seems to be correctly timing out for small values

You are right, I thought that the timeout was in seconds like in time.sleep().
My bad for not reading carefully the documentation :(
