Powershell: Invoke-Restmethode won't timeout

[KrX3D]

Steps to reproduce

Hello,

i got this code here for demonstration:

Invoke-RestMethod -uri "https://XXXXXX.blob.core.windows.net/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXX/SOURCES/PE10.WIM?st=2020-02-20T13%3A08%3A43Z&se=2021-02-21T13%3A08%3A00Z&sp=racwdl&sv=2018-03-28&sr=b&sig=SIGNATURE" -OutFile "C:\Users\testUser\Downloads\DL\PRG\test.wim"

when i use that code i can get the download.
Firstly to maybe make clear what the parameter TimeoutSec should do. i thought it the connection stops i get an timeout after 10 seconds? or do i get an timeout after 10 seconds when i cant get an answer ?

To the problem: when i use that code above the download starts with Powershell 7. When i unplug my Lan cable when the download is already progressing, i can reattach the cable in maybe 10 seconds and the download resumes. when i leave it unpluged this happens:

in Powershell 5: i get an timeout after 5 minutes. and the script goes on (thats what i want)
in Powershell 7: nothing happens, waiting 5, 10 minutes, even hours (tested till 1 day) and its stuck. also the script is stuck and wont progress anymore

Expected behavior

• after the connection is lost during an download (or cable is unpluged) a timeout should happen after 5 minutes, like it happens in Powershell 5

# Actual behavior

- Powershell 7 is stuck during the download when cable is unpluged. Script hangs forever

Hello,
anything new about this problem?

[iSazonov]

I think it is easy to implement.
The method https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/c22ccbebd2955ff67c03574ec26d252955e8ea6d/src/Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Utility/commands/utility/WebCmdlet/StreamHelper.cs#L278

accept a cancelation token so CancellationTokenSource could be initialized with a default timeout like 300 seconds.

We should also ensure that -TimeoutSec is respected there as well, but a sensible default would be wise.

[iSazonov]

TimeoutSec is used in HttpClient as _connection_ timeout.

ok, but still the Invoke-Rest Comand should timeout after 5 minutes in PS7 like it does in PS5 and not hang for eternity

[KrX3D]

i updated my first post and removed the timeout parameter.
but like i said, with no connection the invoke-restmethode function is stuck in powershell 7 (tested with 7.0.3) and in PS5 it just "timeouts" after 5 minutes and my script can go on
