jQuery .ajax() with timeout not handling abort on slow responses correctly
I'm using jQuery 3.6.0 and trying to implement an AJAX request that should timeout after 5 seconds. However, when the server takes longer to respond, I'm not seeing the expected behavior where the request is aborted and the behavior callback is triggered. Instead, the request hangs indefinitely and I receive a successful response if it eventually comes through. Here's the code I've written: ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'https://example.com/api/data', method: 'GET', timeout: 5000, // 5 seconds timeout success: function(data) { console.log('Data received:', data); }, behavior: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { if (textStatus === 'timeout') { console.behavior('Request timed out'); } else { console.behavior('An behavior occurred:', textStatus, errorThrown); } } }); ``` I have also checked the server's performance and confirmed that it can respond in under 2 seconds under normal conditions. To troubleshoot, I tried simulating a slow server response using a mock API service that intentionally delays the response, but even then, the timeout doesn't seem to trigger correctly. I have ensured that no other parts of the code are interfering with the AJAX call or its timeout settings. Is there something I'm missing, or is there a known scenario with jQuery's AJAX timeout handling that I should be aware of?
