Tesla Timeout

A Timeout Middleware for Tesla Elixir HTTP Client

About

The timeout configuration may vary depending of the Tesla adapter being used (as well as its effects). To have an assertive and unified way of controlling timeout, we created this middleware that encapsulates the request on a GenServer with timeout. With this implementation we make sure that the timeout is always respected independent of the troubles the client may have.
