possibility to timeout only for GET requests ?

[loicginoux]

Hello,
I don't see the possibility to configure rack timeout to work only for GET requests. How difficult would it be to add a config to specify which http methods it can timeout (or the ones for which rack timeout is disabled) ?
We would like to drop GET requests in case of timeout but would want to not loose important POST/UPDATE/DELETE requests even if they take too much time.
Thanks

There's been many requests and several PRs over the years to be able to do this or something similar. The general conclusion has been this is an anti-pattern. The most vigorous debate took place in #110, which I welcome you to review.

I think if we can find a sustainable approach that allows people to customize the behavior, but does not endlessly add more options/option handling, then this might have a future. However, this might require significant refactoring.

In this case I am going to suggest merging any further discussion of this issue into #213. Thanks!
