These properties retain their current behavior where a purely numeric value is interpreted in seconds, but now the numeric value may also be appended with "ms" (case-insensitive) to be interpreted as milliseconds.

These timeouts only come into play when an AIA extension on a certificate is followed for pulling the issuing authority certificate and only when the `com.sun.security.enableAIAcaIssuers` property is true (default false).

You should call `privilegedGetProperty` here instead of `System.getProperty` so the call is wrapped in `doPrivileged` when an SM is active.

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/action/GetPropertyAction.java line 202:

Is this guaranteed never to throw `NumberFormatException`? It might be safer to catch it just in case.
