Description

The HttpClient team informs me that the way we've been setting socket timeouts will basically silently do nothing. This is because HttpClient will ONLY pay attention to socket and connection timeouts at the connection manager level. That has implications for connection pooling also, since our connection management must now be in complete sync with our repository/output connection management.
