A more precise definition of "times out" might have been "if the proxy decides to discard any state it had to hold about the request". For a stateless proxy, that won't happen. (A stateless proxy might have an LRU cache of origin server for which it keeps per-server state, but a server falling out of that should not impede the forwardability of responses).
