fortio curl context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

[gongxh13]

Accourding fortio official github introdution, run fortio curl -stdclient -payload-file sample.json "http://localhost:8080/fortio/rest/run?jsonPath=.metadata" > result.json command, and I set sample.json as below:

{
    "metadata": {
        "url": "localhost:8080",
        "payload": "foo",
        "qps": "40",
        "c": "10",
        "t": "30s",
        "headers": [
            "Foo:Bar",
            "X-Blah: Something else"
        ],
        "save": "on"
    }
}

Finally, below error happened:

14:49:17.590 I scli.go:107> Starting Φορτίο 1.57.3 h1:kdPlBiws3cFsLcssZxCt2opFmHj14C3yPBokFhMWzmg= go1.20.6 amd64 linux

14:49:20.594 E Error status -1

After 30s, the execute result file generate at disk.

I solved this problem.
Add -timeout parameter in fortio curl command can succeed.

glad you found it - fortio has many flags so sometimes it can be hard to find (#739)

@gongxh13 also note there is the &async=on you maybe want to use when triggering rest API calls to make them not wait for completion and you can get the result later
