Optionally you may specify a timeout in milliseconds for this operation by passing the second parameter. Default timeout is 1000 ms. If the operation lasts longer, it is forced to stop and the callback will be called with an empty string as a parameter.

If the timeout value is less or equal to zero, no timeout is applied.
