Bug ID: 127654
Summary: Extending the timeout value for a "Link to External
Data"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.3.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: gurkan at gmail.com
Description:
Hello,
I am using Calc to get data from some Websites, and use them for further
calculations. Some links do not respond in a timely manner and the link
timouts, providing no data. Then I go to related link using a web browser, and
enter missing parts manually to my Calc sheet.
I created a Basic macro to reload the links a few times, and it resolved some
of them but not, as the reloads are also getting timeouts.
As data is available to a web browser, I believe increasing the timeout value
for the external data link updates will solve the Problem.
Can this value be parametric?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Link calc to external data from

2. Select HTML_10 as the data table
Actual Results:
The link could not be updated.
Expected Results:
5*2 table like the following (numbers to be changed)
High 500
Median 425
Low 230
Average 410
Current Price 460.5
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
If the values are updated, it is by chance, try reloading and it will fail.
The test can be repeated with the following examples too:

I wrote a macro to refresh the link when the values are not arrived, but even
so it does not help. When I load the page from a web browser, it comes, but
with a lag. So, increasing the timeout value allowed for the load would solve
the problem, imho.
