What was wrong?
Yesterday when testing the bridge we found that a surf http request took 6 minutes to respond. We assume this is becase the provider took forever to respond. Either way we don't want to wait 6 minutes + to timeout if a provider can't respond in a responsible about of time we should give up and log it, so we aren't confused why we aren't seeing logs.
How was it fixed?
by setting a 20 second timeout in surf.
I choose 20 seconds to be conservative. I don't believe any provider request should take over 1s and if that does happens the provider is overloaded.
