Configure Mashable HTTP Request Timeouts
This topic is specific to MashZone NextGen 3.1.
MashZone NextGen uses the default HTTP handling for requests to mashable information sources. This does not set any timeout period for a connection to be made or a timeout for a response to be received.
In most cases, this default behavior is appropriate. If denial of service attacks are a concern, however, this default behavior may not be acceptable.
You can set timeout periods for requests to all mashable information sources that use HTTP. This affects Atom, RSS, REST (including remote XML and CSV files), remote Spreadsheets and WSDL mashables. Database mashables and local spreadsheet, XML and CSV mashables are not affected.
* To manage HTTP request timeouts
1. Click Admin Console in the MashZone NextGen Hub main menu.
2. Expand the Platform Features section and click HTTP Processing.
3. In the HTTP Request Processing section:
*Enter a number of milliseconds in Connection Timeout to define the timeoutperiod for connections to be successfully made with mashable informationsources.
*Enter a number of milliseconds in Socket Timeout to define the timeoutperiod for a response to be received from mashable information sources.
4. Click Save settings (in the HTTP Request Processing section).
