AkkaHttpClient: Equivalent of socketTimeout

We have 3 timeouts in Apache-HttpClient:

HttpClients.custom()
    .setConnectionManager(cm)
    .setDefaultRequestConfig(RequestConfig.custom()
            .setConnectTimeout(...)
            .setSocketTimeout(...)
            .setConnectionRequestTimeout(...)
    .build();

Which:

But AkkaHttpClient only has connecting-timeout and doesn't have any configuration property for Socket Timeout. Is There any equivalent prop or way for setting a default Socket Timeout for requests?

In general for timeouts in the client beyond the connecting-timeout, the recommendation is to use the various Akka Streams operators (e.g. idleTimeout), which give you far more control.

There is also a general idle timeout which will close connections if nothing is sent or received: this is intended as a global safety feature, so it can't be configured per-request.
