JQuery ajax call default timeout value

Question

I got a bug report that I can\'t duplicate, but ajax-call timeout is the current best guess.

So I\'m trying to find out the default value for timeout of a jQuery

Answer 1

As an aside, when trying to diagnose a similar bug I realised that jquery's ajax error callback returns a status of "timeout" if it failed due to a timeout.

Here's an example:

$.ajax({
    url: "/ajax_json_echo/",
    timeout: 500,
    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert(textStatus); // this will be "timeout"
    }
});

Here it is on jsfiddle.
