socket timeout patch

["Nic Ferrier" <nferrier at tapsellferrier dot co dot uk>]

The attached patch provides connection timeouts for java sockets.

It's vital for paperclips (the GNU servlet engine) as well (I imagine) for
any other HTTP implementation in java.


The attached file contains some formatting changes over the original... I
know the policy is not to accept such changes. Can someone confirm if the
changes enclosed are acceptable, if not I would like to provide 2 patches,
the first 2 correct the coding style of the existing files and the second to
provide the fix.


I realise that I have to write a changelog as well, I'm submitting just the
patch at this stage to get confirmation of the above issue.
