That would help to explain why it's not working.

This exercise is kind of frustrating. Currently the scheduled task in question takes approximately 780(!) seconds to complete and it's growing. That's another story I won't go into here. For obvious reasons we don't want the server time out setting set to a number high enough to accommodate this scheduled task. All we are trying to do is to have a time out setting for this particular scheduled task that will override a more reasonable server time out setting. As Dave pointed out, appending the requestTimeout parameter to the end of the URL did not work (at least not without adding the appropriate cfsetting tag into the code, as Cameron pointed out). We put a timeout value into the configuration screen for this scheduled task but that appears not to have worked either. Maybe that is because we need to stop and restart the CF instance for the change to take effect. It doesn't say that in the Help docs and we can't just try it now because it's on a production server . . . Thanks Dave and Cameron for your input.
