[FEATURE REQUEST] Add timeout configuration by request

[shingara]

There are no configuration of timeout in puma.

By example, I have a long request with some infinite loop, I need restart my puma to stop this loop. It can be good to have a timeout configuration to stop the request if this timeout is reach and send a 408 http code.

Unicorn and thin has this configuration. But not found on puma.

This is not a concern that I want puma to have. If you want to have timeout requests, the best way would be to write a Rack middleware that handles it the way you want. The reason I don't want it to be in puma because, imho, it's not a one-size-fits-all situation. Puma is used for long polling as well as short requests, so the problem is better solved an the Rack middleware layer.

I understand.

Thanks for the explain and the idea to do it on a rack-middleware.
