Question

What the question says really – I want to see how my program responds to timeouts. Any suggestions on the easiest way to do this?

Answer 1

you can quite easily create such a server on your own computer. this is CoffeeScript (nodejs):

http = require 'http'

srv = http.createServer (req, res) ->
  setTimeout (() -> res.end "still here?"), 3000000
srv.listen 8000
