Well, I'm not too familiar with the apache packages. I've been using
the java.net classes instead. Typical code looks like this:
URL url;
// ...
HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "My Android Demo");
urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
urlc.setConnectTimeout(1000 * mTimeout); // mTimeout is in seconds
urlc.connect();
if (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200) {
// all is well
InputStream is = urlc.getInputStream();
// ...
} else {
// oops
}
That seems to work just fine for me. There are lots of examples on the
web of how to use the java.net classes to post, and setting the
connection timeout should work pretty much the same.
There may be other classes
Good luck.
