How proxmoxer/Proxmox would handle modules, where timeout param is set(but timeout there is implemented programmatically in module itself), but API doesn't allow that parameter?

Also this needs a changelog fragment :)

Not sure if I follow that last part "but API doesn't allow that parameter".

But reading the code again, I am having second thoughts about the way I implemented that. I had simply passed the timeout to the underlying httplib, but with that we missing the ability of polling the API.

Will need to rethink this.

Hi folks, I don't think I will have time to look into that issue anytime soon. Sorry.
