Ah sorry, both contain customers data so they are private. I will give 
you summary:

Proxy will timeout becouse it will not get data within given timeframe.
This happen on very slow network or with big files.

The timeout can be tuned by setting:
   self.sock.settimeout(CFG['sometimeout'])
in getresponse() or __init__() of HTTPConnection class in connections.py

The trouble is that this is rhnlib code, which knows nothing about CFG, 
so we have to pass it from rhnShared.py in _proxy2server() to rhnlib

and this is that rhnlib bugzilla, where we either have to read that 
timeout from some config or provide interface for proxy to set it.

Temporary workaround is to manually edit:
DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=120 in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhn/SSL.py
to some higher value. But this change will be wiped next time you 
upgrade rhnlib package.
