define a configurable default timeout for all request, and provide timeouts for specific requests

[osher]

Hi,
I was looking for a way to provide timeouts to specific calls, and/or default timeout for all requests.

I concluded that there is no such thing, because searching for "timeout" in nano.js yields nothing (where I expected some entries - at least in the relax function...)

Personally I think that's something that should be facilitated by such a good infrastructure.

If I'm just misreading the picture - I'd be delighted to be directed to how it's done.

If in deed it's not implemented - then - If it fits the spirit here - would you like a PR to add such functionality?

What I propose to do is:
1 - add handling of options.timeout in the relax function
2 - replace access to the higher relax to calls from all methods of doc-scope to calls to an enclosed relax - one that works with the dbName of the "docScope" - and db.timeout.
3 - expose the enclosed relax on docScope so it can be used with the defaults enclosed for it
4 - have the enclosed db.relax uses db.timeout as timeout to pass to higher relax

mmm - I'm not sure what would be more useful: if timeout should compare against begining of accepting content from the server, or a "brutal" timeout - i.e - compares against completion of response...
let me know what you think. We can implement both, however, the 2nd is simpler.

Thoughts?

I think you can specify the default timeout with requestDefaults, not sure about specifying a timeout for each request.
