[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-600) Allow specifying connection timeout

["Nick Couchman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-600?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16734996#comment-16734996 ] 

Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-600:
-----------------------------------------

FWIW, I'm ont sure this is going to be feasible in VNC and RDP connections.  SSH and Telnet are pretty straight-forward, as they use the standard socket library for opening the connections, and there are methods available for handling timeouts with those libraries.  Because the VNC and RDP connections abstract this to their respective libraries, there isn't really much way to control this.  It also seems that, with FreeRDP specifically, the developers have rejected requests to allow timeout to be specified:

We could try to integrate this timeout support into the auto-reconnect, but since Guacamole Client handles that internally, I'm not sure there's really much point?

> This came up in a mailing list discussion, specifically related to SSH connections, but seems like it would be useful across all of the protocols to allow the connection to specify the timeout in making the connection.  For environments where connections are expected to happen rapidly this can reduce delays if something is wrong; for environments that may experience larger delays it can avoid errors when the connection is expected to take a longer amount of time to establish.
