See original GitHub issue

In cy.request() and also main configuration doc, make it clearer that responseTimeout applies to mocked as well as non-mocked requests.

What is unclear about this issue? The issue is that responseTimeout controls timeouts of XHR requests, which is not really documented anywhere. So I think there is a bit of confusion that XHR requests can be both mocked or not. And even when XHR are not being mocked, responseTimeout still is in effect. In this way cy.request by-passes any mocking, but documentation only says that responseTimeout influences cy.request. So maybe this is why this confusion about mocking and non-mocking?

It is simply surprising that if I do not want to mock anything, some arbitrary additional not-documented timeout is inserted into my XHR requests. So maybe a reference to cy.request() was made by mistake. My issue was with XHR.
