We're running into issues where include_url never times out if the remote server fails to return anything. It seems that the params connecttimeout and timeout are not honored.

Here's a simple test

include_url(
'http://mytest.tld/urltest.lasso?sleep=12000',
-connecttimeout = 5.0,
-timeout = 5.0
)

In urltest.lasso I have the following code:

sleep(integer(web_request -> param('sleep') || 20000))
'See me!<br>'
web_request -> params


The call will wait for the stipulated 12 seconds and then return the result. If I bump up the sleep value it will just keep waiting for it to expire. Even after several minutes it just hangs there.
This wreck havoc on some unmonitored threads we have going. If the thread freezes waiting for a response that never come it will stop all subsequent calls to the thread.
I've found no way to tell Lasso that if a process takes too long then skip it. Would be handy though...
