Expand connection timeout configuration to include time spent waiting for JSSESecureSocketFactory

From our support ticket, “watt.security.ssl.resumeClientSessions default value is "false" and if it is set to true, JSSESecureSocketFactory object is reused while creating the socket. Since it is reused and synchronized, it blocks until the socket is created.”

watt.security.ssl.resumeClientSessions configuration is used for reusing the SSL/TLS session to reduce overhead for repeated calls to the same address. However, if connection is not successful, the shared nature of this session object will cause the connection timeout for each of the API calls to stack up.

For example, if connection timeout is set to 30 seconds, 10 calls will cause the 10th call to wait for 300 seconds before connection timeout is thrown. During which, the thread will be stuck in a blocked state. In our production environment, this has caused some API calls to timeout after 1 hour instead of the configured value.

This means we essentially has to choose between a lowered overall throughput or a potential hogging thread issue if a connection issue occurred in a high traffic environment.

To resolve this, we would like API Gateway to expand the connection timeout configuration to include the time taken when waiting for the shared session.
