Hey there,

Is there any way to specify the maximum timeout delay for requests?

Gatling rocks!

Hi,

Yup, it’s defined in the config file : [https://github.com/excilys/gatling/blob/master/gatling-bundle/src/main/assembly/assembly-structure/conf/gatling.conf#L46](https://github.com/excilys/gatling/blob/master/gatling-bundle/src/main/assembly/assembly-structure/conf/gatling.conf#L46)

Thanks  
Nicolas

I am using 2.0.0.M1 and gatling seems to ignore the timeout setting in conf. I increased mine from 60000 (default) to 120000. But when I run my tests, gatling says i did not receive response within 60000 and errors out.

Did you not only changed the value in gatling.conf, but also commented out by removing the leading # (see other ongoing thread on this topic)?  
This is handled not in Gatling, but in Async Http Client, and there might be a bug there: [https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/issues/276](https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/issues/276)
