Is the eids_spec.js broken?

Hi!

I am the lead Software Engineer at Magnite for our Prebid integrations.

I was not sure the best way to reach out but had a question for you.

When we upgrade to latest prebid version we see the AJAX call to rp.liadm.com timeout every single time.

Seems the live-connect NPM library is calling it with timeout === 0 every single time.

And setting ajaxTimeout in the config params seems to not change this.

This is happening on all of our pubs who have liveIntent implemented in their prebid wrappers.

Wondering how this timeout is configured as it seems to be always set to 0?

@robertrmartinez Thank you for reaching out. This default value seems to be the problem. It looks like Prebid changed the semantics of the value 0: it used to mean "no timeout". Whereas now it is interpreted as a valid value for a timeout. We will submit a PR with a fix soon. A temporary quick-fix could be setting the disableAjaxTimeout to true.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The good news is the error you see does not have an effect on the user id resolution.

Glad to help @3link

Seems like this will be a PR into the NPM library which will require a Prebid PR in prebids package.json to bump the version as well correct?
