How to set timeout on $.ajax request and redo it if it takes too long?

Question

Can someone show me a practical example on setting a timeout to my $.ajax request and redo the entire request if the first request is timed out, I\'ve read the docs and didn

Answer 1

a. You can maintain a queue of all the requests that you make.

$.xhrQueue = [];

---

b. Enqueue each request that you make

$.ajaxSetup({
    beforeSend: function (e, xhr) {  
            $.xhrQueue .push(xhr);
        }
});

---

c. Poll for which requests completed vs timed-out

setInterval(function(){
    $.each($.xhrQueue, function (xhr) {
       //check whether status is complete, 
       //with some try-catch you can know which were the timed-out/not-sent ones

    });
}, 1000);

_{Note: If not beforeSend, you can go via some other function through which you attempt to make an ajax call}
