Issue

I have a rather complicated bot framework application - it runs different methods and then compares results before returning a response to the user - and I am running into the 15 second timeout issue ("POST to Bot timed out after 15s"). I would like to have a method for extending the timeout, or bypassing the timeout issue altogether.

Proposed change

Provide a method for extending the timeout or provide some sample code that works asynchronously, .i.e. makes asynchronous calls to long running process without throwing an error.

Component Impact

I'm not that familiar with the framework's inner workings, but I believe this would affect ActivityHandler and ITurnContext.

Customer Impact

Having control over the timeout would allow developers to create more complex bots capable of doing more things. Also, more time allows more technologies to be implemented in a bot, such as combining ChatGPT with other technologies. If the customers are willing to wait for a response, why not let them?

The default timeout will be increased to 30s. However, there are no plans to allow arbitrary control over this. At present, a proactive scenario would be required for long running operations.
