How can I set a timeout in SNS publish method? - php

Question

I'm using the AWS SNS service in my PHP application to send messages to a queue.
If internet connection is down, the application should keep running without writing the messages. But the method that publish messages on the queue has a very long timeout, it makes the application unusable without internet.
I didn't found any place in AWS SDK where I could set a smaller timeout.
Is there some way to do this?
Here is an example of the construct of the snsClient object.
I've edit the params to use http timeout as #Anthony Neace told, I also try to use request.options connect_timeout as I found here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v2/guide/configuration.html
I've changed the gateway of my PC to simulate when the internet is down and I got the exception [curl] 28: Resolving timed out after 3000 milliseconds https://sns.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com/
use Aws\Sns\SnsClient;
SnsClient::factory([
'version' => '...',
'region' => '...',
'credentials' => [
'key' => '...',
'secret' => '...',
],
'http' => [
'timeout' => 5
],
'request.options' => [
'connect_timeout' => 5
]
]);

You can set a timeout in your client's constructor. This will apply to all requests you make with that client, including SnsClient Publish.
Here's an example from the documentation, modified to use SnsClient:
use Aws\Sns\SnsClient;
// Timeout after 5 seconds.
$client = new SnsClient([
'region' => 'us-west-2',
'version' => 'latest',
'http' => [
'timeout' => 5
]
]);
