[Tilecache] Increase WMS request timeout?

[chris marx]

I have yet to load up either mapserver or geoserver, although preferring
java development, geoserver looks a little more attractive. Even though i
keep most of my data in oracle spatial, it's just very easy to link and then
style/manipulate the data in a real gis, and have the wms service come right
out of the project (like publishing a mxd for ArcServer).
I very much dont like being tied to iis, but the manifold mapserver is tied
to asp.net. The hacked status monitor does fix the problem, but within the
few minutes between the monitoring, sometimes someone will see a few maps
with tiles missing, so adding this feature would at least get me up a
running for the moment-

However, the services for Manifold are designed for .net
