Add timeout parameter to landsatxplore download #32

Closed griembauer closed 3 years ago

griembauer commented 3 years ago

This PR adds a timeout parameter that defines how long a landsatxplore download request should wait for a response before aborting. In some cases, the Earth Explorer takes a lot of time to respond - for these cases the timeout parameter ensures that a) the process is not aborted before a certain amount of time has passed and b) the amount of time to wait for a response is finite.

A conservative value of 300 seconds (= 5 minutes) is set as default value in order to not break any existing processing chains where long EE response times may occur.
