unable to configure read timeout, and no default provided

[ahicks92]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, question, or feature request, but hopefully there's an answer in any case. We're on Rocket 0.4.5, multiple versions of Linux, trying to adopt Rocket for some microservices, and our test servers are getting taken offline in a manner that suggests that no read timeout is set on the socket. I've dug through the code, and:

• The block of code that sets Hyper up doesn't seem to set one.
• Hyper seems to default to no read timeout unless you set it.

We're still investigating this some on our end, but the next step seems to be to configure a read timeout, which I can't figure out how to do. Is this possible? If not, and if no read timeout is set, it seems to me that it is trivially easy to DOS a rocket server. Any advice would be appreciated.

As a clarification, I'm talking about Server::set_read_timeout in Hyper, not HTTP keep-alive.

To be clear, the latest tip of v0.4 does indeed set a default timeout. Alas, it is not configurable, which we should remediate.
