Description

Note PR https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/pull/1070 discussing how some auth proxy tests failed (in the original PR). The following in PROXY_SETTINGS should still work for https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/blob/master/lib/handlers/auth-proxy.js

  followRedirects: true,
  proxyTimeout: 5000

Research direction

Start with lib/handlers/auth-proxy.js and the PROXY_SETTINGS excerpt, then read the discussion in PR 1070 and issue 1069 for the failed auth proxy tests. Run the relevant auth proxy tests and verify that redirects are followed while the 5000 ms proxy timeout remains effective.
