Adding the http-conf:conduit element in application-context as you did is the way to go and should work. What makes you say it does not?

Quite often a backend server take too long to answer, after the connection is made; in this case setting ReceiveTimeout is as important as ConnectionTimeout.

This is a sample camel Route which consumes RS requests and calls a third-party RS server; the ReceiveTimeout and ConnectionTimeout parameters work as expected.

<cxf:rsServer id="rsFrontServer" address="..." serviceClass="..."/>

<cxf:rsClient id="rsBackendClient" address=".../" serviceClass="..."/>

<http-conf:conduit name="*.http-conduit">
    <http-conf:client ReceiveTimeout="5000" ConnectionTimeout="5000"/>
</http-conf:conduit>

<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route id="front">
        <from uri="cxfrs:bean:rsFrontServer"/>
        <!-- do stuff -->
        <to uri="cxfrs:bean:rsBackendClient"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
