Timeout on Async not working

[ayoung]

I'm setting a timeout on the RestClient but it does not seem to be
timeout out. Rather it waits indefinitely. Do you see anything wrong
with this code? I checked the RestSharp codebase and it seems that
Timeout is being sent down the stack just fine. So I'm kind of at a
loss here.

protected void ExecuteAsync<T>(RestRequest request,
Action<RestResponse<T>> callback) where T : new()
{
var client = new RestClient();
client.Timeout = 10;
client.BaseUrl = DataConfiguration.HostingBaseUrl;
client.ExecuteAsync<T> (request, callback);
}

"The Timeout property has no effect on asynchronous requests made with the BeginGetResponse or BeginGetRequestStream method...In the case of asynchronous requests, the client application implements its own time-out mechanism. Refer to the example in the BeginGetResponse method."

SIGH. HttpWebRequest screws us over again. Anyone want to implement the mechanism described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.begingetresponse.aspx

Done.

Nice! I'll try to review tonight.

Is that ok right now concerning Aysnchronous request and timeout ? (I tried to get latest sources and have a check but could not find it).

David, this feature hasn't been merged into the master branch yet. https://github.com/johnsheehan/RestSharp/pull/114/commits

sorry i'm running behind guys. i'll try to get to it soon, but it's
sxsw time and it's very busy.

So it seems like I got BeginGetResponse to time out properly. But BeginGetRequestStream is not. The code is implemented pretty much exactly the same in either case. Not sure what the deal is.

Anyone got a clue?

See pull commit #114 for the changes.
