Improve Timeout Error messages on VSCode

While retrieving dataset members, if the operation exceeds the timeout period, the logs displayed in VS Code do show an error. However, they do not clearly indicate that the failure is specifically caused by a timeout. Instead, they only show the following message:

< HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

 

the Zowe CLI does specify this in the following manner:

Response From Service rc: 4 reason: 1 category: 2 message: receiveResponseHeader: timeout receiving response (>120 secs): TsoServerConnection(USER=USERNAME, ASID=0x02c2, QID=0x00170005) Diagnostic Information Received HTTP(S) error 500 = Internal Server Error.

    As an IBM Brand Technical Specialist (BTS) supporting clients in Taiwan, I would like to highlight that this issue is already causing concrete field impact.

    Several PL/I customers currently evaluating IDzEE — especially those choosing the z/OSMF connection mode — have encountered confusion during testing. The generic 500 error message leads customers to interpret the issue as system instability rather than a timeout condition.

    This has resulted in additional troubleshooting effort and reduced confidence during PoC phases.

    Clearer timeout-specific messaging would significantly improve customer experience, evaluation efficiency, and trust in the z/OSMF connection option.
