The operation has timed out in WCF REST Service

Question

I have created a web service using WCF REST Service Template 40(CS). When I try to consume it using

  var request = WebRequest.Create(string.Concat(serviceUrl, resourceUrl)) as HttpWebRequest;
   if (method == "POST" && requestBody != null)
            {
                byte[] requestBodyBytes = ToByteArrayUsingJsonContractSer(requestBody);
                request.ContentLength = requestBodyBytes.Length;
                using (Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream())
                    postStream.Write(requestBodyBytes, 0, requestBodyBytes.Length);

            }

var response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

I keep getting:

The operation has timed out

How to increase time out ? Do I need to increase it in service or the client which is using this service with url:

http://myservice.com/RecordingCompleted/

Please suggest

Try setting SEND TIMEOUT and RECIEVE TIMEOUT in Client Config to a Higher Value — Akshay Joy, Apr 10 '13 at 13:07
I have web.config in my service but it where these two attributes will be specified ? — DotnetSparrow, Apr 10 '13 at 13:11
I am talking about CLIENT configuration , not WCF Configuration, — Akshay Joy, Apr 10 '13 at 13:14

Waht is the output of WCF method, – Akshay Joy Apr 10 '13 at 13:23
Thats fine, Plese check the Reason why its taking too much time, I don't advice you to put such long TimeOut, to return a String Response, this is too large – Akshay Joy Apr 10 '13 at 14:04
