C# 10 - HttpClient Timeout Not Being Respected in Async Calls
I've been working on this all day and I'm encountering an issue where the timeout setting for `HttpClient` is not being respected in my asynchronous calls. I've set a timeout of 5 seconds, but it seems to exceed that duration before throwing a `TaskCanceledException`. Here's a snippet of what my code looks like: ```csharp using System; using System.Net.Http; using System.Threading.Tasks; class Program { private static readonly HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); static async Task Main(string[] args) { client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5); try { var response = await FetchDataAsync("https://httpbin.org/delay/10"); Console.WriteLine(response); } catch (TaskCanceledException ex) { Console.WriteLine("Request timed out: " + ex.Message); } } static async Task<string> FetchDataAsync(string url) { return await client.GetStringAsync(url); } } ``` I used the link `https://httpbin.org/delay/10` intentionally to simulate a long-running request. Despite the `client.Timeout` being set to 5 seconds, the request takes 10 seconds to complete and throws the `TaskCanceledException`. I also verified that I'm not using any `CancellationToken` that might be affecting the timeout behavior. Is there something I'm missing or a specific configuration I should be looking into to ensure that the timeout works as expected? Any insights on best practices for handling `HttpClient` timeouts in .NET 6 would be appreciated. I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm working in a Linux environment. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
