Yes, setting the timeout will not effect methods that have already been executed. Even if it did, I'm not sure it would help much in this case. Gustavo, is sounds like you want a per method execution timeout. The SO_TIMEOUT is for each individual read operation at the socket level.

 I already have a reference to the input stream - the method was already

All right. I see. It will not. Feel free to file a feature request. It
is still not too late to have this included into the 3.0 release

 Hi Michael,

 thanks for the prompt answer.

By connection params I meant the HttpConnection.setParams(). I saw the
javadoc for that class, and it states that if I set SO_TIMEOUT there, it
will change the value for open sockets as well. If I just set the method
parameters, by calling HttpBaseMethod.setParams(), it will change the
parameter only when opening new sockets.

Gustavo,
This is not the case. HttpClient resets SO_TIMEOUT every time the
connection is obtained from the connection manager, because the
connection can be still left open ('alive') and may contain an arbitrary
SO_TIMEOUT value set by the previous method.


When SO_TIMEOUT is defined at the HTTP method, the method value is used,
otherwise, default value defined at the HTTP connection/connection
manager level is used.
