Set a timeout for requests on the webserver #37

Open EmileTrotignon opened 8 months ago

EmileTrotignon commented 8 months ago

Currently, the webserver requests that are slow can never be timed out.

This is a bad thing because if we have a performance bug, the server could be like dead for a long time.

Therefore, we need a mechanism to make the requests timeout after maybe 5 seconds.

Can you assign this task to me

EmileTrotignon commented 8 months ago

@Atharva3008 Hi, and thank you for the interest.

I assume you are here for outreachy ?

If so, the contribution period has not started, and as such this repo is not completely ready, and in the interest of fairness, I do not want assign tasks right now when most other candidate are not informed of the project.

Another thing is that my intention is to ask every contributor to complete this task : https://github.com/art-w/sherlodoc/issues/35 before doing anything else.

Completing task #35 should prove you have an OCaml toolchain installed, that you understand the interface of sherlodoc and its build system, which are important requirements before assigning a more complex task.
