Adjust HttpRequst Timeout Before Creating any HttpWebRequest - c#

In C# 5 and winform, I used a library created by Telegram Company. In this library there is a function SendDocument(UserId,DocumentStream). I know in this function, they used some HttpWebRequest, and the Timeout property of that is not handled. because sometimes it can't send large documents and after exact 100 seconds(default timeout in DotNet), the function throws an exception The task was canceled.
From the document of Telegram Company, we can send 50 MB files and my example files is about 15 MB.
Ok, Now I want to adjust the timeout of all HttpWebRequest of my server but I don't have any feature for this.
Can I adjust all HttpWebRequest.Timeout property in my server??

This is not directly related to your question, but may help ease your mind.
My advice is, don't bother adjusting the timeout. It is not likely to help. Here is what I have gone through:
I have tried to upload a 20M mp4 video file using Telegram Bot API. From a Raspberry Pi, it took 5 minutes, then returned a 504 Gateway-Timeout error. From a hosted server, it took 1 minute, then returned a 504 Gateway-Timeout error. In both cases, however, the video did eventually reach the recipient 5 minutes later. So, the upload seemed somewhat successful, yet not quite successful.
I tried to fix the problem by streaming the upload. Same problem persisted.
I tried to adjust the HTTP timeout parameter. Same problem persisted.
I tried to use cURL to make the request (instead of using telepot, a Python library I author). Same problem persisted.
I suspect the problem lies with the Telegram servers, so I talked to Bot Support. They got back to me once, saying they have made some improvements and asked if I still have the same problem. But same problem still persists.
So, it seems the problem does lie with the Telegram servers. It's not your code.

I know it's a pretty old question but may be my answer will help somebody. When I tried to send cosiderably large files via my bot I received Telegram.Bot.Exceptions.ApiRequestException: Request timed out and the only solution I found was this issue. Which wasn't really helpfull because if you check source code then you'll see that passing cancellation token does nothing with request timeout. But then I saw that you can pass HttpClient to your bot client instance and make it something like this:
_httpClient = new HttpClient();
_httpClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0); // 5 min
_client = new TelegramBotClient(botConfig.Token, _httpClient);
Hope this will help

Docusign eSign: GetDocument request time out

Recenlty we've been having issues downloading envelope documents.Getting the bellow exception after 6 minutes.
envelopesApi.GetDocument(accountId, envelopeId, documentId)
DocuSign.eSign.Client.ApiException: Error calling GetDocument: The operation has timed out.
The timeout has set for 10min as bellow,
var envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi();
envelopesApi.Configuration.Timeout = 600000;
envelopesApi.Configuration.ApiClient.RestClient.Timeout = 600000;//also added this
But after receive error, when re-trying through the postman is succeeding.
Also this error is intermittent.
Is there anything that we are missing ?
Thanks,
Dula
Timeouts can occur for a variety of reasons, like internet latency and other TPC/IP issues on the way from DocuSign servers to your box. I would recommend that operations like retrieving large files are done in the background.
You should also suggest you update the SDK to the latest version as some improvements were made in this area.

Docusign eSign: CreateEnvelope requests timing out

We've been having issues sending certain Docusign envelopes lately, specifically those with large file sizes.
The errors we've been getting are:
Error calling CreateEnvelope: The operation has timed out
And
The request was aborted: The request was canceled.
No inner exception with any additional information in either case.
These errors only occur on our production server; on my local development machine everything works fine, so I can only assume that this is a connectivity issue; that there simply isn't enough time to send the supplied data over the available connection before something times out. What I would like to know is, what is the something that's timing out? Are these errors coming from my end, or Docusign's? If the former, is there any way to increase the timeout? I've got my HTTP execution timeout set to 300 seconds:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="30000" requestValidationMode="4.0" executionTimeout="300" targetFramework="4.5" />
... but that doesn't seem to affect anything, it always seems to time out at the default 1 minute 50 seconds.
Is there anything more I can do to prevent these requests from timing out?
Thanks,
Adam
Our issue has been resolved. The timeouts were indeed being caused by something on our end; there is a "Timeout" property which can be set against the EnvelopesApi object before sending; it can also be passed into the constructor when declared. So our fix was as simple as:
EnvelopesApi envelopesApi = new EnvelopesApi();
envelopesApi.Configuration.Timeout = DocusignTimeout;
The crux of our issue was that the Timeout property was not exposed in older versions of eSign. We had upgraded to 2.1.0 (the current version) earlier this week, but something must not have taken, as the metadata still showed our DocuSign.eSign.Client.Configuration class at version 15.4.0.0. Uninstalling the reinstalling eSign and RestSharp packages from NuGet gave us the correct version of this class, and enabled us to set our own timeout.
Hope this is helpful!

how to set httpclient connect timeout?

I'm struggling with setting connect timeout with c# HttpClient or its siblings (HttpClientHandler,WebRequestHandler,...) . There's a timeout property in HttpClient, but it seems to be a timeout from the beginning of the request until receiving the response. I want to have a method which specify that for example if you don't received ACK from the net socket within 10 seconds for example , then break up and do the next.
I saw that there may be something similar in WinHttpHandler class, but it seems to be deleted or not available in recent version. compare the first link vs second :
1.WinHttpHandler MSDN
2.WinHttpHandler Microsoft Docs
I really need this, because I must differentiate asap between IP's which have a working web servers (maybe slow) vs which don't have a web server at all.
I use HttpWebRequest.Timeout in my project to verdict the connection time before establish tcp connection. And use HttpWebRequest.ReadOrWriteTimeout to verdict whole response timeout.
Ps: The HttpClient seems cut off some useful properties.

Exception-proof HttpListener possible?

Last few days I've been building a web server application in C# that uses HttpListener. I've learned quite a lot on the way, and still am. Currently I got it all working, setting headers here and there depending on certain situations.
In most cases things are working fine, however at times a exception error is thrown. This happens on a few occasions. Most if not all of them is closing a connection before all data is send. Then the error occurs. But some of them are really caused by browsers as far as I can tell.
Like let's take Chrome. Whenever I go to a MP3 file directly, it sends 2 GET requests. And one of them is causing the error, the other is working and receiving part of the content. After this, I can listen the MP3 and there are no issues. Streaming works.
But back to the request that gives me the error, there is nothing in the headers that I could use in my code to not output data, like I do already with HEAD requests. So I'm quite puzzled here.
IE also has this problem with both opening MP3 files directly, and streaming via HTML5 audio tag. It also varies from time to time. Sometimes I open the page, and only 2 requests are made. The HTML page, and the MP3. No error there. Sometimes tho, there are 3 requests. It connects to the MP3 twice. Now sometimes one of those connections is being aborted straight after I open the page, and sometimes 2 requests to the MP3 file, doesn't even accept data. In both request headers, they want end of the file. So bytes: 123-123/124.
I've also tested it on w3school's audio element. IE also makes twice connections there, one aborted, other loading the MP3 file.
So my question is, is it possible to make the web server exception/error-proof, or maybe better question, is it bad that these exceptions are thrown? Or do you perhaps know how to fix these errors?
The error I'm getting is: I/O Operation has been aborted by either a thread exit or an application request.
The way I write to the client is:
using (Stream Output = _CResponse.OutputStream)
{
Output.Write(_FileOutput, rangeBegin, rangeLength);
}
I am not sure if there's another (better) way. This is what I came across in many topics, tutorials and pages while researching.
About headers: Default headers: Content Length, Content Type, Status Code. In some cases, like MP3 files and video's, I add a Accept-Ranges: Bytes header. In case the request header has Range in it, I add Content-Range header, and PartialContent status code.
From the server's point of view any client can disconnect at any time. This is part of the normal operation of a server. Detect this specific case, log it and swallow the exception (because it has been handled). It's not a server bug.

Using .NET's HttpWebRequest to download a multitude of files in a row

I have an application that needs to download several files in a row in succession (sometimes a few thousand). However, what ends up happening when several files need to be downloaded is I get an exception with an inner exception of type SocketException and the error code 10048 (WSAEADDRINUSE). I did some digging and basically it's because the server has run out of sockets (and they are all waiting for 240s or so before they become available again) - not coincidentally it starts happening around the 1024 file range. I would expect that the HttpWebRequest/ServicePointManager would be reusing my connection, but apparently it is not (and the files are https, so that may be part of it). I never saw this problem in the C++ code that this was ported from (but that doesn't mean it didn't ever happen - I'd be surprised if it was, though).
I am properly closing the WebRequest object and the HttpWebRequest object has KeepAlive set to true by default. Next my intent is to fiddle around with ServicePointManager.SetTcpKeepAlive(). However, I can't see how more people haven't run into this problem.
Has anyone else run into the problem, and if so, what did you do to get around it? Currently I have a retry scheme that detects this error and waits it out, but that doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
Here's some basic code to verify what I'm doing (just in case I'm missing closing something):
WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(uri);
webRequest.Method = "GET";
webRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse();
try
{
using(Stream stream = webResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
// read the stream
}
}
finally
{
webResponse.Close()
}
What kind of application is this? You mentioned that the server is running out of ports, but then you mentioned HttpWebRequest. Are you running this code in a webservice or ASP.NET page, which is trying to then download multiple files for the same incoming request from the client?
What kind of authentication is the page using? If it is using NTLM authentication, then the connections cannot be shared if the credentials being used are different for each request.
What I would suggest is to group your request per credential. So, for eg, all requests using username "John" would be grouped. You can specify the "ConnectionGroupName" property on the service point, so the system will try to reuse connections for the same credential and server.
If that also doesnt work, you will need to do one or more of the following:
1) Throttle your requests.
2) Increase the wildcard port range.
3) Use the BindIPConnectionCallback on ServicePoint to make it bind to a non-wildcard port (i.e a port in the range 1024-16384)
More digging seems to point to it possibly being due to authentication and the UnsafeAuthenticatedConnectionSharing property might alleviate this. However, I'm not sure that's the best thing, either.
