Question: Consider implementing something like CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT / CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME ?

[bes]

Would CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT / CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME-like functionality fit into reqwest?

I have a situation where switching between wifi / cellular networks hangs reqwest Requests for a very long time, and it would be very beneficial for me to be able to detect that no data has been transferred for x seconds, and just have reqwest error out and let me handle that instead.

What do you think?

Someone else also asked about this: #724. I'd suggest discussing what the API and impl looks like could go in that issue.

From a downloading point-of-view, it's possible to do this without reqwest's help. Instead of using resp.text(), use a loop and resp.chunk(), selecting on a timeout each time.

Moving to #724
