Slow POST through proxy causes timeout after 5 seconds about oathkeeper HOT 4 CLOSED

That time out is there to protect the proxy from request stragglers and intentionally harmful clients. It would make sense though to have this configurable, which is possible!

I was mislead by the name graceful and though it was intended to handle only shutdown or restart of the process. I since found the http server settings applied in https://github.com/ory/graceful/blob/master/http_defaults.go#L55

I'm using this as a sidecar and there is an upstream proxy offloading TLS and handling timeouts. Perhaps oathkeeper could do with a similar method to hydra of trusting upstream for TLS via source IP and XFF headers and disabling timeouts.

I think we can keep this issue open, it's possible to configure the settings provided by graceful which would - I guess - make tons of sense in this scenario. The settings have been used for other projects whose APIs accept - at maximum - POST bodies of max 2kb. In the proxy scenario however, it makes much more sense to be able to configure the timeouts in order to support use cases such as yours.
