final int SOCKET_TIMEOUT = 1000;
final int TOTAL_TIMEOUT = 5000;
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("/data");
httpget.getParams().setSoTimeout(SOCKET_TIMEOUT);
try {
httpclient.executeMethod(httpget);
InputStream instream = httpget.getResponseBodyAsStream();
int l;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
while ((l = instream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
long time = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
if (time > TOTAL_TIMEOUT) {
throw new OppsieException();
}
// do stuff
}
} finally {
httpget.releaseConnection();
}
The worst case is TOTAL_TIMEOUT - 1 + SOCKET_TIMEOUT
Hope this helps
