There are cases that due to setup problems with the server unrelated to Hyperstack, the request to the server may simply hang.  \r\n\r\nThis causes `Hyperstack.send_to_server` to propagate a timeout error back up the system, which crashes the whole console (for example.)   \r\n\r\nThis makes debugging the unrelated server problem difficult.\r\n\r\nWhat we need to do is wrap `send_to_server` in a configurable timeout that will cleanly drop the message.\r\n\r\nWhile we are at it, setting the configurable timeout to a negative value should simply drop the value, while 0 and nil should ignore the time out.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/catmando","@type":"Person","name":"catmando"},"datePublished":"2019-03-25T13:20:18.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/144/hyperstack/issues/144"}
