Description

I currently have a problem that if the wifi is not great a request will hang and hold up the whole script. Is there a way to add a timeout to the request? I don't want to use async requests as the program shouldn't keep running without the current data but i would like to retry the requests until a response is received from the server.

Is there a way to do that?

Research direction

Start by locating the urequests implementation and reading how requests currently wait for a response. Check whether existing tests cover interrupted or slow connections. Done should mean a synchronous request can stop waiting after a defined timeout and retry until it receives a response, without requiring async execution.
