Subject: [PATCH] Add proxy-timeout option to documentation

http-proxy provides a [proxyTimeout option](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/blob/master/lib/http-proxy/passes/web-incoming.js#L122) that allows us to set a timeout on the outgoing socket connection to the target. This timeout is very effective when the upstream target does not respond within an expected time.

I had wasted a few hours searching for this option. Documenting this option can save others a significant amount of time.
