Adjusting HTTP timeouts on a webhook

This option has been available since 0.9.154.84 and 1.1-alpha10.157.147

Prior to this, the timeouts were defaulting to infinity. This meant that a HTTP connection to an endpoint that never returned, would hang the build indefinitely and tie up that agent until the build was cancelled.

Since 0.9.154.84 (on the 0.9 branch) and 1.1-alpha10.157.147 (on the 1.1 branch) the timeouts have been set to 120seconds. There are two timeouts.

• Connect timeout: Determines how long tcwebhooks will wait for the endpoint to accept a connection.
• Response timeout: Once a connection has been estiblished, how long tcwebhooks will wait to receive a response.

These values can be adjusted by editing the main-config.xml file on the TeamCity server. To set both values to 10 seconds, the following XML could be added:

  <webhooks>
	<http-timeout connect="10" response="10" />
  </webhooks>
