In module-client/src/main/java/org/apache/http/conn/ssl/SSLSocketFactory.java
The connectSocket( method has: SSLSocket sslock = (SSLSocket) ((sock != null) ? sock : createSocket()); ... sock.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port), connTimeout); // Line 292 sslock.setSoTimeout(soTimeout); ... Looks very much like line 292 should be sslock.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port), connTimeout); // Line 292 instead. [Also sslock might be easier to understand if it were named sslsock] [Findbugs reported that sock could be null at 292] S/// --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
