When connectiontimeout parameter is given to BalancerMember directive like the following, mod_proxy_hcheck is not aware of the connectiontimeout parameter. Therefore, in case that the network is unreachable, the worker for health-check does not timeout in connectiontimeout seconds even though the worker for real HTTP request to the same backend timeouts in connectiontimeout seconds. mod_proxy_hcheck should be aware of BalancerMember's connectiontimeout parameter and should timeout based on it.
