Set form post timeout

Question

I have a form that upload a file and the server has to process a large operation that takes several minutes.

My code:

.cshtml:

@using (Html.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController", FormMethod.Post,
            new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    <input type="file" name="file"/>
    <input type="submit" value="submit" />
}

Controller:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MyAction(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
    // Process a large operation here.

    return View();
}

I know it's possible to do it with web.config configuration and with server code.
My question: Is it possible to do with client side configuration?

I ask that because when using XMLHttpRequest like jQuery.ajax its possible to set the timeout, so is it possible to do in html form tag or something?

Why is it so important to set it from within your view code? Why can't you modify the controller code? — musefan

One of the options is to create AsyncController and then you can set [AsyncTimeout(xxxx)] or [NoAsyncTimeout] attributes in your action.

Here is an example on how to do it

Thanks for the answer, but I'm trying something with client configuration as jQuery.ajax. +1.

@JonnyPiazzi then you might consider to use jQuery.ajax from your view where you can specify timeout. But I would recommend to use AsyncController
