+### How to override application variables?
+
+There is few settings that can't be changed by the user interface.
+These parameters are defined with PHP constants.
+
+To override them, create a `config.php` file at the root of the project and change yourself the values.
+
+By example, to override the default HTTP timeout value:
+
+    # file config.php
+
+    <?php
+
+    // My specific HTTP timeout (5 seconds)
+    define('HTTP_TIMEOUT', 5);
+
+Actually, the following constants can be overrided:
+
+- `HTTP_TIMEOUT` => default value is 10 seconds
+- `APP_VERSION` => default value is master
+- `DB_FILENAME` => default value is `data/db.sqlite`
