timeouts are 4 times faster than expected [C1]

[Eugene ADELL-EXT <eugene.adell-ext@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have tested the timeouts with the
ajp proxy, and I am very surprised to see the results are not the expected
ones. For this test, I proxify requests to an unreachable server then I
am sure I don't receive any RST packet.
Both configuration ProxyTimeout and
ajp://.../ connectiontimeout have the same behaviour. Here are the results
:

timeout value in conf    
   result for connectiontimeout      
 result for ProxyTimeout
1        0.2
       
15        3.7
       4.1
30        8.2
       7.3
60        14.5
       14.7
120        29.5
       29.7
180        43.8
       44.5
240        46.2
       46.6
300        50.3
       46.5

I am running Apache 2.2.11 on Linux
 (2.6.18-164.el5)
