title: How to increase waiting time for HttpClient request in angular 5?
body: <p>I am using HttpClient to make a sever call and wanted to wait until it respond back. This particular service call takes more than 2 minutes.
  Following code only waits for 2 minutes even though I have added timeout of 3 minutes.</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.http.get('serverUrl')
  .timeout(180000)
  .catch(() =&gt; {
     return Observable.throw('Error');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried implementing timeout with pipe operator. But this approach also timeout after 2 minutes of wait. </p>
  
  <pre><code>this.http.get('serverUrl')
  .pipe(timeout(180000))
  .catch(() =&gt; {
     return Observable.throw('Error');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using timeout, I was able to decrease the service call waiting time but could not increase the waiting time.</p>
  
  <p>I followed some of the previous posts regarding the similar problem, but those solutions did not work.</p>

  <p>The expectation is to increase the waiting time more than 2 minutes. I tested in Chrome and IE browser and found that service call using HttpClient is only waiting for 2 minutes for each service call.</p>
