Question

As per requirement I am required to make a REST API Call. To make call I am using Forge Component https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/427/ardohttp
As per Request settings at "/etc/.java/.systemPrefs/outsystems/pref.xml" I have configured as <entry key="OutSystems.HubEdition.RequestTimeout (DEFAULT)" value="410"/>
On calling I am getting "SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out" error after 63 Seconds of the call.
Following is Stacktrace

Solution

I got the solution.

From Extension code I got to know that Timeout can be set as Header Parameter

Setting Header Parameter before Call

After passing Timeout parameter I was able to increase the timeout. With this course of actions, I was able to resolve the issue.

Root cause: Bydefault 100 Seconds were set as timeout due to which HTTP call was timing out.
