Operations: using an invalid host has a very long timeout

[pilhuhn]

Suppose I somehow supply a bad host to the WS-client

client = OperationsClient.new(host: 'acme.org:42',

then the connect will hang for around a minute.

I am not sure though if it is possible to specify a shorter timeout for the connection setup.

as far as I saw, there is no way to specify a timeout, we are using this gem: websocket-client-simple which inside use TCPSocket for the connection[1], that class doesn't seem to have a timeout option[2].
