Android: How to set a timeout for SSL sockets to block read / write using ThreadSafeClientConnectionManager?

Question

How to set timeout for SSL sockets to block read / write using ThreadSafeClientConnectionManaget? I found that losing a network connection when reading or writing an SSL socket results in a 15-minute timeout on Android OS 2.2 and 2.3 devices.

I set the following timeouts on my HttpClient:

mParams = new BasicHttpParams(); HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(mParams, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1); HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(mParams, "UTF-8"); HttpProtocolParams.setUserAgent(mParams, USER_AGENT); HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(mParams, TIME_OUT); HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(mParams, TIME_OUT); ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(mParams, TIME_OUT); final SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry(); registry.register(new Scheme(HTTP_SCHEME, PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80)); registry.register(new Scheme(HTTPS_SCHEME, SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 443)); final ThreadSafeClientConnManager manager = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(mParams, registry); mClient = new DefaultHttpClient(manager, mParams); 

Then I use the client to execute the http put request with the file entity. If I turn on airplane mode in the middle of loading, wait 15-30 seconds, and then turn off airplane mode, the slot will get stuck in read or write mode and will not be timeout for 15 minutes.

Do not get distracted by your very legitimate question, but the Android HTTP Client blog post recommends using HttpURLConnection for new development. Have you considered switching APIs?
