Bug #3510: ssl_timeout appears not to work in net/https
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3510

Author: Andrew Miklas
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: lib, Target version: Ruby 1.8.6
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i686-darwin9.7.0]

It is possible to cause Net::HTTP.get to block indefinitely even when values are given for open_timeout, read_timeout, and ssl_timeout.  The problem only happens when use_ssl? is true: the behaviour of non-SSL requests is as expected.

To reproduce:

1. Run "listen.rb" in the background (simulates a misbehaving server that accepts connections but doesn't deliver any data)
2. Run "http_test.rb" -- notice that the exception is delivered after 5 seconds, as expected.
3. Run "https_test.rb" -- notice that the GET call never returns, and no timeout exception is delivered.

(Apologies if this is the wrong spot for this.  Is net/https considered part of Ruby's standard library?)
