    - #### setTimeout

          public RequestOptions setTimeout(long timeout)

      Sets both connect and idle timeouts for the request
      - connect timeout: if the request is not obtained from the client within the timeout period, the `Future<HttpClientRequest>` obtained from the client is failed with a `TimeoutException`.
      - idle timeout: if the request does not return any data within the timeout period, the request/response is closed and the related futures are failed with a `TimeoutException`, e.g. `Future<HttpClientResponse>` or `Future<Buffer>` response body.
      The connect and idle timeouts can be set separately using `setConnectTimeout(long)` and `setIdleTimeout(long)`

    - #### getConnectTimeout

          public long getConnectTimeout()

      Returns:
        the amount of time after which, if the request is not obtained from the client within the timeout period, the `Future<HttpClientRequest>` obtained from the client is failed with a `TimeoutException`

    - #### setConnectTimeout

          public RequestOptions setConnectTimeout(long timeout)

      Sets the amount of time after which, if the request is not obtained from the client within the timeout period, the `Future<HttpClientRequest>` obtained from the client is failed with a `TimeoutException`. Note this is not related to the TCP `HttpClientOptions.setConnectTimeout(int)` option, when a request is made against a pooled HTTP client, the timeout applies to the duration to obtain a connection from the pool to serve the request, the timeout might fire because the server does not respond in time or the pool is too busy to serve a request.
      Parameters:
        `timeout` - the amount of time in milliseconds.
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### getIdleTimeout

          public long getIdleTimeout()

      Returns:
        the amount of time after which, if the request does not return any data within the timeout period, the request/response is closed and the related futures are failed with a `TimeoutException`

    - #### setIdleTimeout

          public RequestOptions setIdleTimeout(long timeout)

      Sets the amount of time after which, if the request does not return any data within the timeout period, the request/response is closed and the related futures are failed with a `TimeoutException`, e.g. `Future<HttpClientResponse>` or `Future<Buffer>` response body.

      The timeout starts after a connection is obtained from the client, similar to calling `HttpClientRequest.idleTimeout(long)`.
      Parameters:
        `timeout` - the amount of time in milliseconds.
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### setAbsoluteURI

          public RequestOptions setAbsoluteURI(String absoluteURI)

      Parameters:
        `absoluteURI` - the uri to use
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
