The timeout and retries parameters for the HTTP client cannot be configured through the administration interface.

Workaround

The default value for the timeout parameter is five minutes and can be overridden by including the parameter, timeout= number of seconds in the http-client-config SAF of the obj.conf file.

The default value for the retries parameter is three. The number of request retries can be configured by including the parameter retries=number of retries in the http-client-config SAF of the obj.conf file.

The effective timeout is timeout x retries
