This appears to only be an issue on Macs. When using it on Windows / Linux it performs as expected.

It is reproducible on Linux (Centos 6.9/CloudLinux). I need set it to -1 because Redis:brpoplpush timeout each minute (The default socket timeout value is 60 secs), but file_get_contents fail with file_get_contents(): SSL: Handshake timed out, file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto, file_get_contents(https://someExampledomain.tld): failed to open stream: operation failed. I have to set ['http' => ['timeout' => 10]] via stream_context_create to make it works.
Tested in PHP 7.2.7

I can confirm that with default_socket_timeout=-1,
file_get_contents('http://www.google.com') succeeds, but
file_get_contents('https://www.google.com') fails.

Apparently, some code paths ignore negative timeouts by special
casing them[1], and others don't.
