title: How long can we set the Ajax timeout to be?
body: <p>I have a scenario where an ajax request takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes to be processed on the server side. </p>
  
  <p>One solution is to keep polling from javascript to see if the request has completed. I was wondering if i could take the simpler route by making just the one ajax call &amp; setting the ajax timeout to 15 minutes &amp; getting intimated when the request gets completed. </p>
  
  <p>Is it fine to set the ajax timeout that long? How long is fine?</p>
  
  <p>I am not concerned with the user experience. The only requirement is, i get a response back reliably as long as my connection is active.</p>
