Overview

This directive allows a user to specifiy a timeout on proxy requests. The httpd process will wait for the specified timeout for a response from the backend server, and timeout if the answer does not arrive within the specified interval. This is useful when the application server is slow, and you would rather just return a timeout and fail gracefully instead of waiting however long it takes the server to return.

ProxyTimeout is gives the default timeout for the connections in the proxy connection pools. The value can be overridden individually on a ProxyPass basis.

Unless explicitly set, the default value is given by the value of the Timeout directive.
