            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.
