How to increase HTTP timeout?

I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3, and I would like to increase the HTTP timeout from 5
min to something a bit longer.
 
I have an application that sends XML to the server, which generates a
report.  Sometimes the server takes a long time to generate the file, which
results in an aborted report.  The XML requester on the client has a 1 hour
timeout, so I have no problem there right now.
 
I realize this isn't an ideal setup, but I need to deploy what I have
working now, and fix the architecture later.  
 
How can I do this without hacking the source code, or is this the only way.
 
BTW, I'm using the HTTP listener, not AJP12 or AJP13.  I have a load
balancer that will direct servlet requests to my TomCat servers, and static
content to Apache servers.
 
Thanks,
Andrew
