Description

https calls ignore http.socket.timeout during SSL Handshake. This can result in a https call hanging forever waiting for socket read.

In both SSLSocketFactory and SSLConnectionSocketFactory, sslsock.startHandshake(); is called before socket timeout is set on the socket. This means timeout is not respected during the SSL handshake, and the thread can hang with a stacktrace that looks like this:
