CDN timeouts

Orange's CDN Edge Network servers use these timeout defaults when proxying to origins and handling client requests. Several values differ from stock Nginx defaults.

Decrease proxy_connect_timeout and proxy_read_timeout for individual CDN resources with the timeout settings in the CDB Customer Portal. Enterprise customers can ask CDB Support to increase proxy_connect_timeout above 5 s or proxy_read_timeout above 30 s.
