HttpsURLConnection doesn't set the DefaultReadTimeout and DeafultConnectTimeout properties. Where as user can set these properties in the HttpURLConnectio. This behaviour is different from the Http based application.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout and
sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout timeouts do not appear to
work when using HTTPS connections.



REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
System.setProperty("sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout",
                   "1000");
System.setProperty("sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout",
                   "2000");

/* Ensure connection will timeout before running */
URL mysite = new URL("https://www.verisign.com");

URLConnection mysite = url.openConnection();


---------- END SOURCE ----------

SUGGESTED FIX HttpsClient's doConnect overrides the NetworkClient's doConnect, and thus doesn't respect the properties. This function shouldn't use createSocket to create the socket. It should call the socket constructor and then setting the DefaultConnectTimeout and DefaultReadTimeout properties.

EVALUATION Submitter is correct, HttpsClient's doConnect overrides the NetworkClient's doConnect, and thus doesn't respect the properties.
