      There is an error in the documentation of org.jboss.resteasy.client.jaxrs.ResteasyClientBuilder#socketTimeout
      It reads:

          * Socket inactivity timeout

      However, the implementation sets org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpConnectionParams#setSoTimeout

      if (socketTimeout > -1)
         {
            HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, (int) socketTimeoutUnits.toMillis(socketTimeout));

         }

      and its documentation reads:

           * Sets the default socket timeout (<tt>SO_TIMEOUT</tt>) in milliseconds which is the 
     * timeout for waiting for data. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite 
     * timeout. This value is used when no socket timeout is set in the 
     * {@link HttpMethodParams HTTP method parameters}.

      So in fact it sets the amount of time to wait for data, not a timeout for socket inactivity.
