Hi Gustavo, Maybe I misunderstand you but isn't that what the code sample I provided doing? Its using a stream to read until the total desired size is reached (in this case 8k instead of 100k). I then attempt to close the connection with method.releaseConnection(); but it just hangs.
Oleg, I tried your suggestion of using method.abort but it also just hangs on the test url http://www.tfc-charts.w2d.com/chart/dw/w On 7/21/05, Oleg Kalnichevski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just call HttpMethod#abort to close the underlying connection > > Oleg > > > On Thu, 2005-07-21 at 16:34 -0400, Tony Spencer wrote: > > Ok, I managed to limit the the response to 8k in the following code > > but it doesn't help with what I'm really trying to accomplish. > > Sometimes there is a site that will spew a neverending response.
