Fix HttpTimeoutException

in Selenium

Solution

HttpTimeoutException in Selenium usually arises from network delays or the Selenium server/browser taking too long to respond. Increase the `selenium.webdriver.remote.remote_connection.RemoteConnection.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT` to a higher value (e.g., 600 seconds) when creating the WebDriver instance to allow more time for the connection to establish and commands to execute. Also, verify your network connectivity and the availability of the Selenium server if applicable.
