How to override default CURL timeout for Codeception - using Browserstack

Question

I am testing Browserstack for acceptance tests. They have a peculiar habit of taking a very long time to respond to certain requests. I am running Codeception and I am always getting the CURL 30 second timeout error. I want to be able to override this timeout but I cannot figure out how to do it. Is this even possible in Codeception?

This is the yml for my acceptance tests:

class_name: RemoteAcceptanceTester
modules:
  enabled:
    - WebDriver
  config:
    WebDriver:
      url: '{my url}'
      curl:
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT: 120
      host: 'hub.browserstack.com'
      port: 80
      browser: firefox
      capabilities:
        'browserstack.user': '{user}'
        'browserstack.key' : '{key}'
        'browserVersion': '21.0'
        'browserstack.debug': 'false'
        'browserstack.local': 'true' # force use of local BrowserStackLocal binary

Is there any setting or any hack I can try to up the timeout to what I want, which is 120 seconds? I know that's a ridiculous amount of time, but Browserstack is a bit 'peculiar' when you are running their local binary.

A new release for Codeception is online

Also see the documentation Page
