-* **bodyTimeout** `number | null` (optional) - Default: `30e3` - The timeout after which a request will time out, in milliseconds. Monitors time between receiving body data. Use `0` to disable it entirely. Defaults to 30 seconds.
-* **headersTimeout** `number | null` (optional) - Default: `30e3` - The amount of time the parser will wait to receive the complete HTTP headers while not sending the request. Defaults to 30 seconds.

 * **keepAliveMaxTimeout** `number | null` (optional) - Default: `600e3` - The maximum allowed `keepAliveTimeout` when overridden by *keep-alive* hints from the server. Defaults to 10 minutes.
 * **keepAliveTimeout** `number | null` (optional) - Default: `4e3` - The timeout after which a socket without active requests will time out. Monitors time between activity on a connected socket. This value may be overridden by *keep-alive* hints from the server. See [MDN: HTTP - Headers - Keep-Alive directives](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Keep-Alive#directives) for more details. Defaults to 4 seconds.
 * **keepAliveTimeoutThreshold** `number | null` (optional) - Default: `1e3` - A number subtracted from server *keep-alive* hints when overriding `keepAliveTimeout` to account for timing inaccuracies caused by e.g. transport latency. Defaults to 1 second.

 * **idempotent** `boolean` (optional) - Default: `true` if `method` is `'HEAD'` or `'GET'` - Whether the requests can be safely retried or not. If `false` the request won't be sent until all preceding requests in the pipeline has completed.
 * **blocking** `boolean` (optional) - Default: `false` - Whether the response is expected to take a long time and would end up blocking the pipeline. When this is set to `true` further pipelining will be avoided on the same connection until headers have been received.
 * **upgrade** `string | null` (optional) - Default: `null` - Upgrade the request. Should be used to specify the kind of upgrade i.e. `'Websocket'`.
