What is a connection timeout during a http request Ask Question. Asked 3 years, 9 months ago. Active 1 year, 9 months ago. Viewed 67k times. I have found two explanations on "connection timeout": The server closes the socket connection when the client doesn't send any bytes to the server during [timeout] seconds.
And what's the difference between TimeToLive, connection timeout and request timeout? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. I will try to answer it a little bit more informally. Matus Dubrava Matus Dubrava Thanks for your kindly answers. And I have one more question. How dose the http's header of 'Connection: keep-alive' effect on Connection timeout and Request timeout? Keep alive connections allows communicating parties - client and server - to send as well as receive multiple HTTP requests and responses using the same TCP connection.
Otherwise the connection is discarded and new one is created each time a new HTTP message is sent. This can boost performance because it avoids establishing TCP's three-way handshake each time as well as its slow start mechanism. You can specify timeout that tells the server how long it should wait before terminating the connection request timeout and max - how many requests can be send trough this connection. What will happen if the client didn't set any timeout value?
Would that cause their sockets permanently connected. And further more. Request timeout is sent by a server indicating that the server wants to close the connection note that sometimes server may close the connection without sending a message.
Connection timeout is on the client's side, usually meaning that the client lost connection, or is unable to establish connection to a server for whatever reason such as remote firewall is dropping the traffic or the server went down.

Connection timeout client side VS Request timeout server side Connection timeout is a common error that occurs whenever the client is waiting for too long before getting a response from any server for API calls or browser requesting pages.
And most HTTP clients allow us to specify: Open Timeout : how long you want to wait to establish a connection with a server first handshake. Mahmoud Zalt Mahmoud Zalt Most of the time this problem occurs while on the Internet and is very irritating. The only way to get the connection back is to re-boot. Is there a way to modify my settings to prevent this problem? Log to the Router look at WAN side and make sure that it configured to keep the connection alive.
Otherwise, you have to establish whether you lose the connection from the computer to the Router, or the Router loses its connection to the Internet. When you do lose the connection try to connect to the Routers menus read the manual if you can connect to them than it is Internet connection problem.
Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Hi I've installed ISA beta version on my server for sharing. But I usualy receive an error when the internet connection speed is slow. Thank you so much. Did it apply in any way or even better, did it help? Cheers Knutern. Yes, it did very well Now I don't receive that error again yet.
