Steven,

I believe a socket timeout exception will leave the socket in pending
close state, thus rendering it unusable for any further I/O operations.

HttpClient will always close the connection, which threw an IOException
(such as SocketTimeoutException). The server socket in its turn will end
up throwing a SocketException: "Software caused connection abort: socket
write error" as a result of this
