Documentation around changing the timeout?

[bradcypert]

I'm trying to figure out a way to change the timeout and I'm have no idea how to do it, but the default is a little short. Please assist?

Just set the timeout option like any other request option.

Is 5000 ms really that low? o_0

[bradcypert]

I'm getting large, large amounts of JSON over a somewhat flaky connection. It shouldnt be necessary to up the default, but sadly, in this case, it is.

Thanks, I'll look at the docs to see about setting request options.

Hm, is this in the current docs? I found out about it through this issue. @myfreeweb Would you accept a PR to get it into the README?

[valpackett]

I didn't add it? Oh dammit.

Of course I'll accept a PR :-)

[bradcypert]

Yay, my issue is helping others!

@myfreeweb Awesome :) It's in the docstrings but not in the README, and the docs don't seem to be published (e.g. on https://hexdocs.pm/httpotion). I'll make a PR against the README.

Thanks! I didn't know about the hexdocs thing, because I don't really use Elixir for anything...

Added the docs now.

👍 Great! Thank you :)
