Add timeout for uclient

[doodieb15]

I am running a slow ASU Server (on a VM) and the uclient in owut times out. I've added the follwing line to the function: function _request(url, dst_file, params)

uc.set_timeout(180000);

This solves my problem.

Would be great if this could be added as a command line parameter or even to the config file.

Thank you

Hmm, seems like poor practice to workaround your server issues by patching the tool that reveals the problem. Let's see if we can fix your server first, there should be no reason for it not to be responding in less than 10s of milliseconds even on the slowest hardware.

What's your VM manager? Is it qemu-kvm by any chance? If so, is its IPv6 stack working properly? What happens on your OpenWrt client if you set the server URL explicitly to the IPv4 address of your ASU server and then do owut ...?

uci set attendedsysupgrade.server.url="http://10.1.2.3"

I am running the server in WSL2. The request times out because the server answers after it has downloaded a lot of files so that it can be identified what needs to be updated (owut check -v). The ping time is less than 5ms, but the downloading and processing takes too long.

I have disabled IPv6 and i am pointing the sysupgrade to 192.168.2.15 (in my case).

I could not find any way to accelerate the server.
