Hey @thinkingserious I've submitted a PR. Let me know what you think!

Hey @thinkingserious, I took a stab at this as well in this PR.

Hi @jrectenwald,

Could you please summarize what is different from @guille's implementation. I'd love to figure out a way to get both of your work recognized.

The only difference is that the attribute names aren't hard coded in, so users would be able to set values for attributes other than read_timeout or open_timeout.

Thanks for the clarification @jrectenwald,

I do like the idea of passing in http_options for the flexibility.

What are your thoughts @guille? You have dibs since you submitted first :)

Hey, if you like the idea I'm okay with merging that instead of mine, especially now that his PR has tests.
