^2.8 timeout does not timeout

[hlgrrnhrdt]

Hi,

we did a load test on our website and noticed, that the timeout we set did not apply to the requests during the load test.

The timeout is set to 10s, but it is exceeding it in HttpHelper::transfer() and fails at 100s.

Any Idea, why this is happening?

I think this is possible if each individual request only takes less than the configured timeout. So when the timeout is set to 10s, and each individual request takes less than 10s, it should be ok, even if there are many requests done for the same connection.

When I gave it a quick test, it seems that the timeout is honored. I set it to 10s in the following script:

<?php

namespace ArangoDBClient;

require __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'autoload.php';

$connectionOptions =array(
ConnectionOptions::OPTION_ENDPOINT => 'tcp://127.0.0.1:8529',
ConnectionOptions::OPTION_AUTH_TYPE => 'Basic',
ConnectionOptions::OPTION_AUTH_USER => 'root',
ConnectionOptions::OPTION_AUTH_PASSWD => '',
ConnectionOptions::OPTION_CONNECTION => 'Keep-Alive',
ConnectionOptions::OPTION_TIMEOUT => 10,
ConnectionOptions::OPTION_RECONNECT => true,
);

$connection = new Connection($connectionOptions);
$statement = new Statement($connection, array("query" => "RETURN SLEEP(20)"));
$cursor = $statement->execute();
$x = $cursor->getAll();
var_dump($x);

When I then run this script with time php script.php, it produces:

time php script.php 
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught ArangoDBClient\ClientException: Got a timeout while waiting for the server's response

Do you think this issue is still relevant, or can we close it by now? @hlgrrnhrdt
