             Summary: Add timeout for response to StasisStart-event
                 Key: ASTERISK-28366
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-28366
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: None
          Components: Resources/res_stasis
    Affects Versions: 16.2.1
            Reporter: Morten Tryfoss
            Severity: Trivial


Many people use a connector from Asterisk ARI to for example NATS or similar message bus. In this scenario the connector may be functional (and the stasis app registered), but no listener might be available to serve the request. 

Another scenario might be something blocking the ARI app causing it to not respond. 

Is it possible to add a timeout parameter, dialplan variable or similar to specify how much long you want to wait before returning from Stasis() with FAILED or even TIMEOUT?

I made a quick proof of concept for myself just counting returns of  "r = ast_waitfor(chan, MAX_WAIT_MS);" in res_stasis.c and break out of the loop if it hits a limit. I guess this works because my app always add the channel to a bridge.
