Adjust WordPress HTTP request timeout

gistfile1.aw

<?php

function my_http_request_args ( $r )
{
    $r['timeout'] = 15; # new timeout
    return $r;
}

add_filter( 'http_request_args', 'my_http_request_args', 100, 1 );

function my_http_api_curl ( $handle )
{
    curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 15 ); # new timeout
    curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15 ); # new timeout
}

add_action( 'http_api_curl', 'my_http_api_curl', 100, 1 );

?>

The new way of doing this using the http_request_timeout filter:

<?php
/**
 * Extend http timeout duration to 15 seconds
 * 
 * @param int $timeout The timeout duration in seconds. Default is 5.
 *
 * @return int The filtered timeout duration in seconds.
 */
function __extend_http_request_timeout( $timeout ) {
    return 15; // seconds
}
add_filter( 'http_request_timeout', '__extend_http_request_timeout' );

@raamdev code has incorrectly spelt function name, "__extend_http_reqest_timeout" is missing the "u" in "request".

Correct snippet is:

<?php
/**
 * Extend http timeout duration to 15 seconds
 * 
 * @param int $timeout The timeout duration in seconds. Default is 5.
 *
 * @return int The filtered timeout duration in seconds.
 */
function __extend_http_request_timeout( $timeout ) {
    return 15; // seconds
}
add_filter( 'http_request_timeout', '__extend_http_request_timeout' );

@AbeCole thanks for catching that! I updated my comment.
