# HttpReadTimeout

The maximum amount of time that the connector waits to receive data from an HTTP server. When the connector receives data, it waits up to this amount of time to receive more data.

The value of this parameter is a time duration. Specify a value using one or more of the following units:

         years      y
         months     m
         weeks      w
         days       d
         hours      h
         minutes    n
         seconds    s

Note that months abbreviates to m, minutes to n. If you want to specify the value in seconds, units are not required.

For example, all of the following are equivalent:

         1minute 3seconds
         1n 3s
         63s
         63
