Comment(by Otto42):

 I disagree. If there's a problem with a specific transport not firing the
 request off because the timeout is too short, then the transport itself
 needs to be fixed. Upping the timeout is only a bandaid solution, because
 the whole point of this request is that we don't care what the response
 is. Ideally, the timeout would be zero or nonexistent, because we want
 this function to a) fire the request off and b) return. Thus completely
 ignoring the response and having no delay in waiting for it.

 If increasing this timeout "fixes" anything, then we need to determine
 what transport is being used on that system and then why that transport is
 not firing the http request off when the timeout is so low.
