Some sort of timeout support for HTTP package would be very useful.

Example:

  http.read('http://google.com', timeout: const Duration(seconds: 5));

this is very similar to issue #10119, which would allow you to do:

http.read('http://google.com').withTimeout(const Duration(seconds: 5));

I see. I tried to search "http timeout" and didn't see that one.

Starred the other issue, it's a good generic approach indeed.

Is this still valid? Does the http package handle this now?
