Hi

I'm sure you have all done much more network programming than me.

My colleague has created a trusted secure socket connection using these 
classes.

import javax.net.SocketFactory;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory;

In the field, it is getting a 
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Connection timed out

We both noticed that within the Android Tree, there are more choices for 
SocketFactory's than we have exploited. 

There is also. 
org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory

So, without starting any holy wars, which one is "better"?

Right now, we are thinking the apache one, because it allows you to specify 
httpparams that it honors for the socket connectionTimeout. 
We'd probably set it at 20 seconds, since thats what AndroidHttpClient 
does. 

But in the control group, I have no idea what the timeout is now. I know it 
is not zero, because that would imply infinite waiting, and it appears that 
the client may be giving up when the server was ready to respond. 

If we call 
SSLContext.getInstance("TLS").getSocketFactory().createSocket(SERVER, PORT);
What timeouts will it have? 

I tried grepping the source code and got lost.
