I have a simple piece of code that allows a user to specify a URL, port, username, and password to grab a frame from a network camera. An exception is thrown properly if the url can't be resolved, or if the authentication fails. However, I can't seem to throw an exception in a reasonable amount of time if the server is available but the port is closed (or the user entered the wrong port number). It just seems to sit and wait for a *long* time...
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams(); HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, netConnectTimeout); HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, netReadTimeout); DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(params); httpclient.setHttpRequestRetryHandler(new DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler(0, false)); UsernamePasswordCredentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username + ":" + password); httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(new AuthScope (hostName,port),credentials); HttpGet method = new HttpGet(cameraUrl); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(method); (netConnectTimeout & netReadTimeout are both set to 10000) After doing a substantial amount of reading, I believe I understand why netConnectTimeout and netReadTimeout have no effect on this particular problem. After discovering "HttpRequestRetryHandler" I believed I had found the solution. However after applying what I had found to my code (line 5 above), it had no effect. The connection still sits and waits far longer than 10 seconds when the incorrect port is specified in the prefs. Can anybody help? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
