Gustavo,
This is not the case. HttpClient resets SO_TIMEOUT every time the
connection is obtained from the connection manager, because the
connection can be still left open ('alive') and may contain an arbitrary
SO_TIMEOUT value set by the previous method. 

When SO_TIMEOUT is defined at the HTTP method, the method value is used,
otherwise, default value defined at the HTTP connection/connection
manager level is used.
