Setting the read timeout

[J-L]

I don't see this anywhere in the documentation so...

I have a server which responds quickly, but then has to grab data from an external source. I believe this is causing a read timeout.

getSubdeviceStatus(){
var parent = this;
let fullUrl = this.baseUrl + this.getSubdeviceStatusEndpoint;
console.log(fullUrl);
console.log(this.authHeaders);
console.log(this.className+ ": getSubdeviceStatus called on Device: "+this.deviceGuid);
request.get({
    headers: this.authHeaders,
    url:     fullUrl,
    timeout: 300000,
}, function(error, response, body){
    console.log(response.statusCode);
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        console.log("Response for "+fullUrl);
        console.log(response.headers)
        console.log(body.length);
        //parent.subdevices = [];
        let json_response = JSON.parse(body);
        //iterate through our updates
        }

    }else{
        console.log(this.className +": getSubdeviceStatus failed.")
        console.log(error);
    }
});

}
