Can you include connection timeout in Angular js using the ready state?

[jsasid0]

In my application, I need to distinguish between connection timeout and read timeout.
Presently in angular the $http cal waits till the read timeout value (e.g 45sec) even though the server connection is not established, which can be identified within (1-2 sec). I need to abort the http call once connection timeout has happened.

In ajax we can do this but checking the xhr.ready state. Refer:

I think this would be solved by #1934

I believe this should be possible to handle with either d497822 or 106f90a
