Error description
URLReturnCodeMetric will block health policies if targeted against a stalled application endpoint. Need to add a timeout so that it gives up after a certain time period. Also want a way to specify custom timeout.

An optional timeout parameter was added to the URLReturnCodeMetric health policy to allow the user to specify how long the health policy should wait before automatically ending regardless of the status of the target. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.0.11.
