How to set the DaprClient invoke timeout

I have an API that takes 2 minutes to complete, but the DaprClient invoke will time out after 100 seconds.

System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: 'The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.'
   at System.Net.Http.HttpClient.HandleFailure(Exception e, Boolean telemetryStarted, HttpResponseMessage response, CancellationTokenSource cts, CancellationToken cancellationToken, CancellationTokenSource pendingRequestsCts)

@johnseed - Thanks for bringing this up. We do need a way to expose this, which would probably be best done by exposing the actual factory/creation method. I’ll discuss it with some of the other active people in the repo.

In the meantime, since you’re using a direct http invoke, you can also do this with a raw HttpClient. Then you’d have full control over it, but you’d need to construct the endpoint yourself.

I’m looking also into this to use the HttpClientFactory to inject middleware like for example an exception logger middleware

for example: A factory functions like this

Func<HttpClient> factory = () =>
{
    var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
    var loggingMiddleware = new LogInternalServerErrorMiddleware(httpClientHandler);

    return new HttpClient(loggingMiddleware);
};

And pass it to UseHttpClientFactory(Func<HttpClient> factory)
