Global config for Ansible modules

I'm using an Ansible role from Ansible Galaxy which downloads some software from the Internet and then installs it. It uses the get_url module to do that. The problem is that I am working behind a corporate proxy that will first download the software and then send it to the Ansible playbook running. It causes get_url to hit its default timeout of 10s. It is working fine if I increase the timeout. As I'm using a third party role, I don't want to modify it and was wondering if there was any way to increase the get_url timeout at the playbook level instead.

You can set proxy globally via environment, but not timeout.

As a workaround, you can make custom action plugin to decorate get_url calls.
It can overwrite timeout parameter with increased value instead of default 10.

I've posted example of this technique for setup module here.
