You've found the right list!

Change the following line of code (from EXAMPLE15):

   rc = http_url_get_xml( url : *NULL : %paddr(Incoming) : *NULL);

To read as follows:

   rc = http_url_get_xml( url : *NULL : %paddr(Incoming) : *NULL: 120);

In this example, it'll timeout after 120 seconds.  You can set that 5th 
parameter to a higher value or lower value as needed.

If you look at the HTTPAPI_H source member, it has comments that explain 
what all of the possible parameters are for HTTPAPI's routines, and what 
those parameters do.

Good Luck
