I got the source code to check the functionality for timeout and I see that
this is not used in the code. What is the impact of this NOT being used in
the code? Help appreciated. Thanks



   /**
     * This method always returns the same connection object. If the
connection is already
     * open, it will be closed and the new host configuration will be
applied.
     * 
     * @param hostConfiguration The host configuration specifying the
connection
     *        details.
     * @param timeout this parameter has no effect. The connection is always
returned
     *        immediately.
     * @since 3.0

    public HttpConnection getConnectionWithTimeout(
        HostConfiguration hostConfiguration, long timeout) {

        if (httpConnection == null) {
            httpConnection = new HttpConnection(hostConfiguration);
            httpConnection.setHttpConnectionManager(this);
            httpConnection.getParams().setDefaults(this.params);
        } else {

            // make sure the host and proxy are correct for this connection
            // close it and set the values if they are not
            if (!hostConfiguration.hostEquals(httpConnection)
                || !hostConfiguration.proxyEquals(httpConnection)) {
                    
                if (httpConnection.isOpen()) {
                    httpConnection.close();
                }

                httpConnection.setHost(hostConfiguration.getHost());
                httpConnection.setPort(hostConfiguration.getPort());
                httpConnection.setProtocol(hostConfiguration.getProtocol());
               
httpConnection.setLocalAddress(hostConfiguration.getLocalAddress());

            } else {
                finishLastResponse(httpConnection);
            }
        }

        // remove the connection from the timeout handler
        idleStartTime = Long.MAX_VALUE;

        if (inUse) LOG.warn(MISUSE_MESSAGE);
        inUse = true;
        
        return httpConnection;
    }
