Thanks for the patch. I'll review this as well as see if
2.2 is affected...

Hi Folks,
After fumbling up a previous attempt to send in this patch,
I'm going to try again, making sure to attach the patch this
time. :)
The following patch makes mod_proxy truly use ProxyTimeout
for the actual sending and receiving of the proxied request;
as it's currently implemented, it uses ProxyTimeout when
attempting the connection to the origin server *but* uses
the value of Timeout for sending and receiving the proxied
request.
Since mod_proxy introduced entirely new timeout handling in
2.2, I have not determined if this problem still exists or
is even relevant in that branch. However, I do think the
behavior in the 2.0 line at least does not match the document
for how ProxyTimeout is expected to work:
This directive allows a user to specifiy a timeout on proxy requests.
This is useful when you have a slow/buggy appserver which hangs, and
you would rather just return a timeout and fail gracefully instead of
waiting however long it takes the server to return.
Thanks,
Ron
