title: Tomcat: Setting connectionTimeout in server.xml not effective
body: <p>I am updating the default entry in the conf/server.xml in Tomcat 9 to timeout on a request after 1 second, but am not seeing the effects of this change in the browser.</p>
  
  <p>I am expecting to see a 500 Internal Server Error in the F12 Developer Tools Network Tab, but the status is coming back as 200 on the requests that take over 1 second.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
                 connectionTimeout="1000"
                 redirectPort="8443" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have checked that the server.xml is being read by setting <code>connectionTimeout</code> to <code>a</code> (an invalid value) and see a warning regarding this setting in the logs.  Furthermore, I am making sure the desired server.xml is used by issuing the command <code>catalina.bat start -config \conf\server.xml</code>.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Do I have the right attribute(connectionTimeout) for setting the timeout for a request?</li>
  <li>Is there something else I need to set?</li>
  <li>Is there a way for me to check to see if connectionTimeout is set correctly on the running Tomcat instance?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please let me know.</p>
