Hi Joseph,
transport-timeout in clients is very less in your configuration (4 seconds).
Use a higher timeout or just comment out the option to use the default one,
which should be sufficient.

A centipede was happy quite, until a toad in fun,
Said, "Prey, which leg comes after which?",
This raised his doubts to such a pitch,
He fell flat into the ditch,
Not knowing how to run.
