ruby rest-client: make it never timeout?

Question

I am trying to use ruby rest-client to upload a large number of images to a site that I\'m writing. My code looks like:

RestClient.post url, :timeout => 9000

Looking at the docs, you can pass -1 through RestClient.execute timeout param:

# * :timeout and :open_timeout passing in -1 will disable the timeout by setting the corresponding net timeout values to nil

It can be used as follows:

resource = RestClient::Resource.new(
  "url",
  :timeout => -1,
  :open_timeout => -1
response = resource.get :params => {}
