Add option for custom timeout/increase timeout

[rugk]

I have a web service that is really slow as it triggers the download of a really big file. As such, it always times out…

It would be great to be able to override the timeout.

[rfc2822]

Which timeout value would you need?

I've tested with curl and I got:

    time_namelookup:  0,009120
       time_connect:  0,011203
    time_appconnect:  0,104885
   time_pretransfer:  0,105055
      time_redirect:  0,000000
 time_starttransfer:  29,297973
                    ----------
         time_total:  29,374195

So, at least 30 seconds, I guess?

As said, rather make it configurable. This is a real-world system…
