How to specify a read timeout for a Net::HTTP::Post.new request in Ruby 2

Question

I have a post happening to a rails application from a ruby script. The script creates a variable request as

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
         


        

Answer 1

If anyone is still facing timeout setting issue and Net::HTTP timeout not working as expected, then you may follow below approach as well:

begin
    Timeout::timeout(10) {
        ####
        ## YOUR REQUEST CODE WILL BE HERE
        ####
    }
rescue
    408
end
