Can I please get a review of this doc-only change which proposes to add a `@apiNote` to the `Socket.connect(SocketAddress endpoint, int timeout)` method? This addresses https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-7116990.
As noted in that issue, users can find it surprising that when the `Socket.connect(...)` method is called with a `timeout` value, then if that timeout value happens to be greater than the connect timeout that operating systems typically impose, then a `IOException` gets thrown instead of the `SocketTimeoutException`. The change in this PR proposes to add a `@apiNote` which explains this current behaviour. If this requires a CSR, I'll open one once we settle on the proposed text. ------------- Commit messages: - 7116990: (spec) Socket.connect(addr,timeout) not clear if IOException because of TCP timeout Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25690/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=25690&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-7116990 Stats: 6 lines in 1 file changed: 6 ins; 0 del; 0 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25690.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/25690/head:pull/25690 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25690
