JHttpTransportSocket timeout

[rredpoppy]

JHttp calls from the request method do not set a timeout, thus leaving the timeout with the default value. In JHttpTransportSocket, this implicit timeout is null and it's used in the connect method.

For some reason, somewhere in this file, I get a connect timeout error. Curl wrapper seems to work fine, though. The error is a fatal exception 'Connection timeout'

Example code that throws the exception:

        jimport('joomla.http');
        $transport = null;
        $transportWrappers = array('JHttpTransportCurl', 'JHttpTransportStream', 
            'JHttpTransportSocket');
        $options = new JRegistry();
        while (!$transport && $transportWrappers)
            try{
                $wrapper = array_shift($transportWrappers);
                $transport = new $wrapper($options);                
            }
            catch (Exception $e){
                continue;
            }
        $http = new JHttp($options, $transport);
        $getData = array('something'=>'else');
        $url = 'http://www.exmple.com';
        $response = $http->get($url, $getData);

Are you using ssl?
I think https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/blob/staging/libraries/joomla/http/transport/socket.php#L243 should be handling but there seems to be a php bug if it is ssl
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41631
Can you check default_socket_timeout in your environment?

Any update on this?
