@ajb2k3 thanks for answering.
Do you know what the final http function is that you tell me?

Hi guys. I am making an application in my m5stack fire which makes the call to a web service through these lines:

import urequests

response = urequests.get("myurl.com")
if response.status_code == 200:
jsonResponse = ujson.loads(response.text)
response.close
break
else:
label8.setText("Error web service")
wait_ms(2000)

Sometimes, the web service does not respond properly and the device continues to consume indefinitely.

Can the web service be called in such a way that I can configure a timeout of x seconds, so that when the web service does not respond my application can continue its flow?

My m5stack fire device uses UIFlow_Fire 1.13.1 firmware based on Micropython-1.12

Thanks for your help.
