How to disable timeout in jQuery and CasperJS

My CasperJS script calls via jQuery an PHP script. Problem is, that the PHP script takes around 70 sec to excute, but somehow CasperJS or jQuery are canceling the request after around 30 sec and throw the error: Error: NETWORK_ERR: XMLHttpRequest Exception 101.

Code to call the PHP script:

var result = casper.evaluate(function(){
    $.ajaxSetup({'async':false});
    var result = $.get('http://localhost/full.php', function() {} );
    return result;
});

I tried the following solutions:

// For CasperJS:
pageSettings: {
    timeout: 999999999
}

// For jQuery
$.ajaxSetup({'timeout':999999999});

Also I made sure that the executed PHP script is not the cause for the error (I made a test-script with all used functions, which only takes some seconds to execute. This works fine).

I read that jQuery has no timeout by default and that CasperJS throws an error, when a timeout occurs. But somehow it must be timeout error, because it always occurs after around 30 sec. (btw.. the PHP script uses set_time_limit(0);)

Thanks for any suggestions!

It's maybe the problem. Did you tried when you script when it takes 70 s ? Php has also a maximum execution time setting as said here. By default, it's 30 secs. Try to test in the same scenario.

Jsut for futures references, the default Jquery Ajax Timeout is 0 (technically it's undefined, but behaves as 0). This means no timeout in jQuery itself... You could specify one via $.ajax ({timeout: XXXX }) or $.ajaxSetup ({timeout: XXXX }). The complete callback contains a string categorizing the status of the request ("success", "notmodified", "error", "timeout", "abort", or "parsererror").

There is also two timeouts in casperJs : timeout and steptimeout. There are also two callback ontimeout and on steptimout that are executed when script/step execution time exceeds these limits.
