Currently if the CLI does not receive a response from the server (e.g. incorrectly using SSL port for non-secure connection) it will wait until timeout (1 minute) and retry the connection three more times, so the total will be 4 minutes.

There should be options to change this behavior:

• --http-timeout (default: 30 seconds)
• --http-retries (default: 0)

Proposed milestone: 10.3
