configured HttpClient.Timeout

[274188A]

I'm making a large Import request and sometimes I see the following error:

The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.

Is there anywhere in this package where we can increase the timeout?

Thanks

Here's a possible way to do this:

 /// <summary>
 /// Sends request using http
 /// </summary>
 /// <param name="redcapApi"></param>
 /// <param name="payload">data</param>
 /// <param name="uri">URI of the api instance</param>
 /// <param name="cancellationToken"></param>
 /// <param name="timeOutSecs"></param>
 /// <returns></returns>
 public static async Task<string> SendPostRequestAsync(this RedcapApi redcapApi,
                                                       Dictionary<string, string> payload,
                                                       Uri uri,
                                                       CancellationToken cancellationToken = default,
                                                       long timeOutSecs = 100)
 {
     try
     {
         string _responseMessage;
                         
         TimeSpan tsTimeOut = TimeSpan.FromTicks(timeOutSecs * TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond);                

         using var handler = GetHttpHandler();
         using var client = new HttpClient(handler);
         client.Timeout = tsTimeOut;

<snipped>

importRecordsResults = await this.SendPostRequestAsync(payload, _uri, cancellationToken: cancellationToken, 180L);

@274188A Did you want to make a PR for this? I can also brew up initial draft for you to approve. What do you think? I should have something going by tomorrow.
