Answer 1

This is possible with bleeding-edge angular.js (tested with git master 4ae46814ff).

You can use request http interceptor. Like this.

 angular.module('yourapp')
  .factory('timeoutHttpIntercept', function ($rootScope, $q) {
    return {
      'request': function(config) {
        config.timeout = 10000;
        return config;
      }
    };
 });

And then in .config inject $httpProvider and do this:

$httpProvider.interceptors.push('timeoutHttpIntercept');
