+=== TEST 4: Set timeouts using HTTPS Camel proxy for backend
+In this test we set some timeouts to 1s. To force a read timeout, the upstream
+returns part of the response, then waits 3s (more than the timeout defined),
+and after that, it returns the rest of the response. Backend is configured with https_proxy
+This test uses the "ignore_response" section, because we know that the response
+is not going to be complete and that makes the Test::Nginx framework raise an
+error. With "ignore_response" that error is ignored.
