Topic: Apache Proxy Server timeout isn't working as expected

[psd_mpl]

Hello,

Apache Proxy Server timeout isn't working as expected.
Apache Server V 2.4

My apache proxy server config is something like this.

apache config :

<Config>
<VirtualHost someurl.com:8003>
ServerName someurl.com:8003

<Location "/">
ProxyPass "https://www.someotherurl.com/" timeout=300 keepalive=On
ProxyPassReverse "https://www.someotherurl.com/"
</Location>

</VirtualHost>

I used a standalone tool to calculate the time elapsed for connection establishment and found out that the connection is timing out in 21secs,Eventhough the specified timeout is 300s

<Code>

import requests
response = requests.get('https://someurl.com:8003/',verify=False)
print response.elapsed
print response.raise_for_status()
print response.status


Why isn't the timeout working properly ? The expected behaviour is connection timeout happening after 300s right ?? Any other config changes are required ?



Any kind of help is appreciated

Yes its a python script.
This script will give time elapsed to set the connection.
The script tries connecting this url https://someurl.com:8003/

My question was is what is right:

a) script<--->apache<--->someotherurl.com
or
b) client<--->apache+script<--->someotherurl.com
or
c) ??
