In a model I've got a method

def library_details
  require 'httparty'
  @request_url = "longurl"
  response = HTTParty.get(@request_url, :timeout => 1)
  return response
end

I don't get an error, but the timeout value does not seem to be taken into consideration.

The call can run and run and run and never timeout.

Any ideas?
