ASP.NET MVC and httpRuntime executionTimeout

Question

I would like to increase the httpruntime executionTimeout for a subsection of an ASP.NET MVC application.

In a regular Web App, you could use

<configuration>
<location path="UploadPage.aspx">
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="600"/>
</location>
</configuration>

however there really is not the idea of "Folders" in ASP.NET MVC, so how would I go about doing this? Lets assume the ASP.NET MVC path is /Images/Upload with an ImagesController and Upload Action.

Answer 1

You can include the whole MVC path (controller and action) in the <location> tag's path attribute. Something like this should work:

<location path="Images/Upload">
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime executionTimeout="600" />
    </system.web>
</location>

Answer 2

Chris Hynes solution works! Just be sure to not include ~/ in your path.

This answer details another way - simply set the ScriptTimeout within your action code:

public ActionResult NoTimeout()
{
    HttpContext.Server.ScriptTimeout = 60 * 10; // Ten minutes..
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000 * 60 * 5); // Five minutes..
    return Content("NoTimeout complete", "text/plain"); // This will return..
}

Answer 3

If the action is in the default controller then home/upload does not work, you just put the action name.
