Abstract
A method and computer system for handling timeouts of client requests to a server. The method includes: accessing timeout metadata of a synchronous client request at a server queue; determining that the synchronous client request has a timeout risk; identifying a response storage location for a request processor to use to store a response to the synchronous client request when the response is provided after the timeout of the synchronous client request; responding to the synchronous client request indicating a user of a response storage location for asynchronous response retrieval; and providing the identifier of the response storage location as metadata in the synchronous client request when sending the synchronous client request to the request processor for processing.
