Can I increase a timeout for an Explicit call

As the title says. I'm using the Ruby SDK to update transformations on existing videos, but the RestClient keeps timing out. This might seem like a silly question, but since we can increase it for any Cloudinary::Upload.upload call, can we also pass it into options for an .explicit call?

  Hi Cristian,

  While there is no timeout parameter available to be used when you have a long-running image/video processing using the Explicit method, you can perform the request in the background, asynchronously. And when the backend operation has been completed, you can use a webhook that can be linked through the parameter notification_url to get the final response JSON.

  For example, when doing an eager transformation for video:

  cloudinary.uploader.explicit("TargetVideoPublicId",
      resource_type='video',
      invalidate=True,
      overwrite=True,
      type='upload',
      eager=[
          {'format': 'mp4', 'codec': 'h264', 'quality': 'auto'},
          {'format': 'mp4', 'codec': 'h_265', 'quality': 'auto'},
          {'format': 'webm', 'codec': 'vc_vp9/mp4', 'quality': 'auto'},
          {'fetch_format': 'webm', 'video_codec': 'vc_vp9/mp4'}
      ],
      async=True,
      eager_async=True,
      eager_notification_url="https://some-web-hook-endpoint",
      notification_url="https://some-web-hook-endpoint"
      )

  Hope this helps.
