server: failing web hook cache making requests timeout

[meetzaveri]

Version Information

Server Version: 2.37.0

Environment

EE

What is the current behaviour?

Currently, we have an issue where Redis connections can end up “dead” and just fail to return any data given some TLS settings

This manifests in very slow lookups to the auth hook cache. This is in context to webhook auth caching feature.

What is the expected behaviour?

The fix is to add a configurable timeout for Redis operations - if any operation takes over this time, we should close the connection and consider the operation failed (falling back to either the actual auth hook, or the actual request, whichever makes suitable fallback option at this time)
