[jetty-users] blocked in SocketOutputStream.write()

[Steven Kusalo <smkusalo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I am using Jetty 6.1.22.

I am hitting an issue where the client has the stream open, but is not
reading from it.  This causes the server to block in
SocketOutputStream.write() forever, with the following stacktrace:

         at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(SocketOutputStream.java:-1)

Is there anyway to be defensive about this on the server side, and
timeout the stream?  Using NIO is not an option.

Thank you.
