Add description for umc/http/response-timeout
Last modified: 2022-10-12 12:47:55 CEST
`ucr search` does not provide any insight on the variable `umc/http/response-timeout`. Please add some description/documentation. I asked the following questions on that variable internally: - Is 310 as default not a little high for a timeout that most likely will occur on synchronous user interaction? - Why is the value that's used in the configuration the value I set in UCR but +1? And got the following answer that might be a good starting point: "we have some long-polling HTTP requests, where we wait for some operations to finish. They can sometimes take several minutes. The default value is plus one second to fix a race condition. The timeout is not only applied by apache but also internally be the UMC-(Web?)-Server: if that times out it responses with a more accurate error than apache which just breaks up the connection. So we give the UMC-Server that time to respond earlier."
