Apache committers: I'd like to submit this for possible inclusion in Apache httpd
https://github.com/nealrichter/mod_proxy_http_sla - allows millisecond timeouts for ProxyPass/ProxyTimeout directives - allows millisecond timeouts for RewriteRule driven proxy - extends RewriteRules to implement a custom error document or return status per rule if timeout occurs Complete README here: https://github.com/nealrichter/mod_proxy_http_sla/blob/master/README We've been using both patches at the Rubicon Project for 18 months in one case and 6 in other. Handling billions of HTTP requests per day (yes really). Hat tip to Ronald Park who paved the way for this with similar work in httpd 2.0.x patches. Thanks - Neal Richter
