9800 HTTP timeout

Is there a way to extend the GUI idle timeout on the 9800 to 1 hour?

I would settle for 30min

Currently, if the WLC is a 9800-L/-LC/-F, it is OK to leave the GUI on for hours at a time.

However, if the WLC is 9800-40/-80/M/H1/H2, I would highly recommend to DO NOT leave the GUI all the time because it is one of the factors to cause the WLC to crash. Do not leave the GUI alone. Once the use of GUI is complete, close it.
