Timeouts for http requests
Can someone point me to any secondary documentation on setting default timeouts for the entire transaction not just the connections. I check the manual but when I do as they suggest which is to set a "Timeout" parameter in HTTP Requests Defaults, it doesn't work as I would expect. If I set for under a second like 500ms, it time-out right away doesn't even wait a half a second. If I set it to over a second, 1000ms, it waits for well over a second before timing out.
Any help would be appreciated,
Dan

I thought you were referring to the request to add a transaction timeout.

Not sure I get you - if you make the change in
jmeter_home/bin/httpclient.parameters to modify the timeout values , they
apply to all requests made using http client right ? Are those values
ignored?

Won't make any difference.
JMeter sets the timeouts using the HttpClient library.
Sockets provide connect and read timeouts.
A complete HTTP message may involve several reads.

Couldnt you do this at a HTTPClient level by setting it in
httpclient.properties? or does Jmeter always override?

There is no such feature in JMeter.
The most you can do is use an Assertion to check the elapsed time.

If I set for under a second like 500ms, it time-out right away doesn't even wait a half a second. If I set it to over a second, 1000ms, it waits for well over a second before timing out.
Try setting the timeouts on the HTTP Request itself.
If that does not work, then it sounds like a bug in the JVM.
Or possibly the server is sending small chunked responses with large
gap between them.
The response timeout applies to each individual read from the socket,
not the overall response time.
To check that, you need an Assertion.
