PhantomJS 1.9 has introduced a new setting, resourceTimeout, that controls how long a request can take before it gets cancelled. Along with that, there's a onResourceTimeout event that is triggered if/when a request times out.

Here's a code snippet illustrating all of the above:

var page = require('webpage').create();  
page.settings.resourceTimeout = 5000; // 5 seconds
page.onResourceTimeout = function(e) {
  console.log(e.errorCode);   // it'll probably be 408 
  console.log(e.errorString); // it'll probably be 'Network timeout on resource'
  console.log(e.url);         // the url whose request timed out
  phantom.exit(1);
};

page.open('http://...', function (status) {
...
}

Unfortunately those options are poorly documented right now. I had to go through GitHub discussions and the PhantomJS source code in order to find them out.
