Karate DSL: Getting connection timeout error

I am working on automating a API which is hosted in China server and when I send a request it throws me timeout exception ( org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException).

My feature file:

Background: 
  * url 'http://myurl'
  * configure connectTimeout = 500000

Scenario: Get Client details
  Given path '/clients'
  And header Authorization = 'sdssSSLwWDSD'
  When method get
  Then match response.client_id == 'TestId'

Error details:

What I have tried yet: I tried to configure timeout to max as below:

 * configure connectTimeout = 500000 

It didn't work.

However, the same request when tried from Postman, works fine and I get response within 2000 ms.

Not sure where I am wrong.

Most likely you have a corporate HTTP proxy.

Refer: https://github.com/intuit/karate#configure

* configure proxy = 'http://my.proxy.host:8080'
