Michael Brown 3f43c1354e [image] Add "--timeout" parameter to image downloading commands iPXE will detect timeout failures in several situations: network link-up, DHCP, TCP connection attempts, unacknowledged TCP data, etc. This does not cover all possible circumstances. For example, if a connection to a web server is successfully established and the web server acknowledges the HTTP request but never sends any data in response, then no timeout will be triggered. There is no timeout defined within the HTTP specifications, and the underlying TCP connection will not generate a timeout since it has no way to know that the HTTP layer is expecting to receive data from the server. Add a "--timeout" parameter to "imgfetch", "chain", etc. If no progress is made (i.e. no data is downloaded) within the timeout period, then the download will be aborted.
