Configure Response Time for GetStringAsync by HttpClient [duplicate] - xamarin.forms

Question

I have the following implementation. And the default timeout is 100 seconds.
I wonder how can I able to change the default timeout?
HttpService.cs
public class HttpService : IHttpService
{
private static async Task GoRequestAsync<T>(string url, Dictionary<string, object> parameters, HttpMethod method,
Action<T> successAction, Action<Exception> errorAction = null, string body = "")
where T : class
{
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler()))
{
}
}
}

Answer 1

The default timeout of an HttpClient is 100 seconds.
HttpClient Timeout
You can adjust to your HttpClient and set a custom timeout duration inside of your HttpService.
httpClient.Timeout = 5000;
HttpClient Request Timeout
You could alternatively define a timeout via a cancellation token CancellationTokenSource
using (var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5))
{
await httpClient.GetAsync(url, cts.Token).ConfigureAwait(false);
}
A few notes:
Making changes inside of the HttpClient will affect all requests. If you want to make it per request you will need to pass through your desired timeout duration as a parameter.
Passing an instance of CancellationTokenSource will work if it's timeout is lower than Timeout set by the HttpClient and HttpClient's timeout is not infinite. Otherwise, the HttpClient's timeout will take place.

Answer 2

client.Timeout = 5*1000; doesnt work because client.Timeout expects something of type: System.TimeSpan
I changed the Timeout value using:
client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10); // Timeout value is 10 seconds
You can use other methods as well:
FromDays
FromHours
FromMilliseconds
FromMinutes
FromSeconds
FromTicks
Just for FYI:
Default value of Timeout property is 100 seconds

Answer 3

Since we don't see any task created with a timeout i cannot help.
But if you are using a System.Net.Http under the hood of your application than MSDN says:
The default value is 100,000 milliseconds (100 seconds).
You can than change the value of the HttpClient.Timeout property
clent.Timeout = 5*1000;

Answer 4

if your httpservice class had a dependency IHttpClient (which it should instead of newing up an httpclient) then you could change the default by set this property on your client when configuring services.
For example
services.AddHttpClient<IHttpService , HttpService >(x => x.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
