From #5369:

To reproduce:

1. Run a TCP server that never handles incoming connections, e.g. in Python:

   import SocketServer, time
   
   class ForeverHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):
       def handle(self):
           time.sleep(10000)
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       HOST, PORT = "localhost", 9996
       server = SocketServer.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), ForeverHandler)
       server.serve_forever()
   

2. Change the OSM server URL in JOSM to http://localhost.com:9996/api
3. Do anything involving the API (e.g., download an bbox or fetch the history of an object)
4. Try to cancel the operation – fail.

The connection hangs somewhere inside Java's AbstractPlainSocketImpl, thus hard to change. I see the following two possibilities:

1. Switch to Apache's ​HttpClient library
2. Perform OsmConnections in separate Threads, but how to reliably kill the thread (see ​http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/misc/threadPrimitiveDeprecation.html)

What do you think?
