Configurable default timeout for HttpMessageInvoker

[danielcandea]

New Feature

Enable configurability of the default timeout for MessageInvokerPool.
Functions of new properties:

• A global timeout in the FileGlobalConfiguration section would set a default timeout value for all routes, applicable to both QoS and non-QoS scenarios.
• A local, route-level timeout in FileRoute settings would take precedence, allowing for the overriding of the global default value.

Motivation for New Feature

Setting a custom default global timeout is simpler than configuring QoS settings for each handler, particularly when multiple handlers are defined.

Notes

There is an undocumented Timeout property which is not implemented:

Ocelot/src/Ocelot/Configuration/File/FileRoute.cs

Line 75 in cc8f5c5

public int Timeout { get; set; }

@RaynaldM Useful?
Could your team develop this feature please?

The issue has been shifted to the current monthly May-June'24 release to provide your team with ample time for development.

[raman-m]

@danielcandea Do you have intention to contribute?

[danielcandea]

@raman-m I'm not in the team using Ocelot anymore, for a long time now. The file I mentioned doesn't exist anymore, I would need to get familiar with the code again, after almost four years.
I can't commit time at the moment but would love to give this a go at some point in in the future. If this isn't ok for you, I'm happy to close this.

@danielcandea Thanks for the feedback!
This issue will not be closed. We will develop it within the current milestone
