We have deployed an application on run.pivotal.io.
The default value for request_timeout_in_seconds is 900 seconds which is 15 minutes and too short for our use case. How can we change that?
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-release/blob/master/jobs/gorouter/spec#L105
The application is using the node.js 1.5.5 buildpack on the cflinuxfs2 stack.
This is a system-level configuration that you cannot change in Pivotal Web Services, because Pivotal Web Services is a hosted deployment of Cloud Foundry. If you deployed your own Cloud Foundry (or paid for a vendor to help you deploy) you could configure this parameter.
You may want to share your feedback with Pivotal Web Services support, if this is a common enough request amongst many customers, they may consider re-tuning that parameter.
