I'm trying to connect an websocket server with CPPRest SDK. But as per their documentation there is no timeout in websocket_client_config compared to http_client_config.

So how do I correctly specify the timeout so that the connect pplx::task will exit after the mentioned timeout?

You can't. Actually CPPRest SDK seems to be abandoned. The websocket part was changed last time 3 years ago. Don't use in new projects. Consider using Boost.Beast or WebSocket++ by Zaphoyd.

But can I cancel it after some timeout since the websocket connect is a pplx::task?
Only tasks which were created with cancellation token can be cancelled. That is no your case as you can see in sources here: github.com/microsoft/cpprestsdk/blob/… So the answer is no. P.S.: Actually as I can see Microsoft just took Zaphoyd websocket++ implementation and made just are pretty bad wrapper around it. LOL.
