I am doing some web harvesting, and I'm trying to
better handle the situation where a hostile website
has my connection and then sends a few packets of
garbage data every couple of minutes.
In the loop where I read data off the input stream, I
check the duration of the entire read process, and if
it has taken longer than a preset number of
milliseconds, I want to terminate the get method.
Initially, I simply threw an exception, then called
method.releaseConnection() in the finally block.
However, I have since realized that
releaseConnection() tries to read the entire response
before releasing the connection. This does me no good,
since I want to stop consuming the response.
So now I call method.abort(), then throw the
exception, and then method.releaseConnection() is
called in the finally block.
Is this the best way to terminate a hostile
connection?
TIA,
George
