Setting socket timeout to a positive value will do the trick HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.setTimeout(60000); // 60 sec timeout

Hello everybody, Sometimes, when this code line is executed : byte[] responseBody = method.getResponseBody(); my thread is blocked because the response is not coming. Is there a way to put something like a timeout in order to stop the thread after 1minute if the response is not coming ? Hope an HttpClient-lover will give me an answer Mathias *************************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
