Description

Presently the SSL IOSession decorator executes all potentially blocking handshake tasks on the I/O thread. Use an Executor interface from java.util.concurrent to make possible the execution of handshake tasks using worker threads, thus making the I/O thread available for processing I/O events even if some SSL connections are blocked pending completion of a handshake task.
