+1 for adding timeouts
Currently HttpClient does not seem to have a way to set the timeout.
(I'm just a user and I might be wrong)
However it should be easy to implement since the HttpConnection uses
Java.net.Socket inside.
The following snippet should do the trick if added to HttpConnection
/**
* Set my {@link Socket}'s timeout, via
* {@link Socket#setSoTimeout}.
* @throws SocketException - if there is an error in the underlying
* protocol, such as a TCP error.
* @throws IllegalStateException if I am not connected
*/
public void setSoTimeout(int timeout)
throws SocketException, IllegalStateException {
log.debug("HttpConnection.setSoTimeout()");
assertOpen();
_socket.setSoTimeout(int timeout);
}
Please correct me if I'm wrong, or respond with a good argument why this
would be a bad way to do it.
An alternative to changing the public API would be to add a protected
method getSocket() so that extending HttpConnection to support timeouts
would be possible.
