If you can't get at the PHP internal time-out...

First, file a bug report "Feature Request" and ask for it to be
exposed. You won't be the only one who needs it.

Second, for the short term, you may be stuck with rolling your own
XMLRPC interface, or using one of the others "out there" as raw PHP
that will perhaps give you more control of stream time limits.

You MIGHT be able to dig through PHP source and alter the time-out and
re-compile... But remembering to do that on an upgrade would be a
PITA.
