# web.setTransferTimeout

Sets the maximum time allowed for data transfer during an HTTP request before timing out. The default transfer timeout is 600 seconds (10 minutes).

```js
web.setTransferTimeout(seconds)
```

#### Parameters

* `seconds` (integer): The number of seconds before the data transfer times out.

#### Examples

```js
web.setTransferTimeout(60); // Set transfer timeout to 60 seconds
```

#### Notes

* This timeout applies after the connection has been successfully established and governs how long the system waits for data transfer to complete.
* If a response takes longer than the specified timeout, the request will be aborted, and an error will be returned.
