setSoTimeout() returns -1 for secure sockets

Hi All,

I am having a client app which creates a secure socket connection with the server.

Then does a setSoTimeout(90000) and starts reading.

When the timeout happens, I would expect a InterruptedIOException to be thrown but instead I receive a -1 which is not as specified in the API doc.

If I create non-secure or normal socket connection, I am able to get to the InterruptedIOException on the timeout.

Pls help if anybody has encountered this kind of problem.

Thanks,

Alagiri
