Hello All,
I'm attempting to throw an exception when the connection cannot be
established within 5 seconds (see code excerpt below). However when
the target host is down (doesn't respond to ping), it takes much
longer than 5 seconds before the exception is actually thrown.
Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpMethod method = new GetMethod(url);
client.setConnectionTimeout(5000); //wait 5 seconds for response
try {
statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
String responseBody = method.getResponseBodyAsString();
} catch (Exception e){
log.fatal("error reading URL",e);
throw new IllegalStateException ("Error reading URL");
} finally {
method.releaseConnection();
}
