How to test Webrequest Timeout

My problem is for how do i test a Webrequest timeout . My C# code is making a SOAP service call to a 3rd party vendor whose code i do not have . When their service goes down , most of my application URLs also go down as well.

So I thought of adding a timeout ; and read this blog as well which was helpful , but what would be the best way to test my code ?

I had the same problem and solved it using https://httpstat.us/

In my case I needed a 60 secs timeout so I made my request to https://httpstat.us/200?sleep=120000 and it worked.

Posted in case it is useful for anyone.

Cheers.

You can build a wrapper around the third part call and use the interface to mock your calls made to the third party so that you can return what you are expecting.

Try connecting to an existing internet address but without using a standard port - a port where no service is running. This way the firewall should drop the packet and you should receive a timeout.

Eg. Use one of the big internet players but instead of port 80 (http) or 443 (https) use 354
