Support compression configuration

**Feature request**
It would be great to have timeout for api.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_timeout` with default `false`.

Start by locating the configuration handling and API request or timeout entry points in the repository. Confirm how existing options are defined and tested, then implement the requested enable_timeout option with a false default and verify the API behavior; clarify the title's compression reference before coding.
