Fix: Add Timeout Parameter to HTTP Requests in MarkItDown Class

[sammydeprez]

This pull request addresses Issue #1167, where HTTP/HTTPS requests could hang indefinitely if the server fails to close the stream. To prevent this, a timeout parameter has been added to the requests.get() call within the convert_uri method.

🔧 Change Summary Before:

response = self._requests_session.get(uri, stream=True)

After:

response = self._requests_session.get(uri, stream=True, timeout=kwargs.get("timeout", None))

This change allows users to optionally specify a timeout via kwargs, ensuring better control over request behavior and avoiding indefinite hangs.

✅ Benefits

• Prevents hanging on unresponsive servers
• Enables customizable timeout handling
• Backward-compatible: defaults to None if not provided
