Trevin Beattie [1] discovered an issue where one could observe hanging threads in a multi-threaded Java application. After debugging the issue, it became evident that the hanging threads were caused by the SSL initialization code in commons-httpclient.

This upload fixes this issue by respecting the configured SO_TIMEOUT during SSL handshakes with the server.
