That's a good resource.

http://nginx.org/r/proxy_read_timeout redirects to the official
documentation for the directive, and if it says "context: location",
then it can apply to a particular location.

In nginx, one request is handled in one location. Only the configuration
in, or inherited into, that location applies.

To send to apache, you need the proxy_pass directive -- which has
documentation at http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass

So the answer is "yes you can, but you have to configure it".
