title: Does jquery post ever timeout?
body: <p><a href="https://api.jquery.com/jquery.post/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Official documentation</a> at jQuery does not mention it.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Possible confusion</strong>: I know I can use ajax to gain control over timeout, but my question is different.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Scenario</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>I am using post to grab data from a backend which I know will take a long (sometimes very very long) time to load.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>Will my javascript request ever timeout or will it <strong>always</strong> wait until backend is loaded, even if it takes a few minutes?</p>
