Title: Allow for the connection read timeout to be adjusted 

I'm currently unable to find how proxy_* is currently being applied, I wish to apply read_timeout in a similar fashion. I believe the current read_timeout is the default 60 seconds (stdlib), which causes "Timeout::Error: execution expired" when dealing w/ Swift and larger files. I've bumped the default in this library to 300 seconds, looking for feedback.
