Re: [HttpClient] getting the http connection or setting the params
Hi, HttpClient definitely has timeout settings. You can set a connection timeout, which times out if the ip connection can't be set up quickly enough, and you can set a read timeout, which will effectively abort your request if the remote server does not respond quickly enough. Both timeouts can be set in the HttpClient (setConnectionTimeout and setTimeout, resp.) If I understand you correctly, you're looking for the setTimeout method. This will abort your (GET?) method when you execute it through the http client. I'm a bit confused with your remarks about method.getParams() and the HttpMethod.abort(). They're not in my httpclient api! Are you talking about httpclient 2.0.1? Cheers, Tom Hi Gustavo, Not sure what you mean by setting the connection parameters. All timeout params available on the connection are configurable via some HttpClient param. Which timeout do you want to set? Though it is possible to get access to the actual connection it is highly discouraged. It sounds like you may want a method to abort a request after some time. HttpClient does not have a built-in request timeout param, but it can be simulated. You would need a thread separate from the one executing the method that keeps track of the method execution time. If it went over a timeout value you could call HttpMethod.abort(). Mike On Oct 7, 2004, at 6:17 PM, Gustavo Hexsel wrote: I'm using HttpClient to read a variable number of pages in sequence. I have a time frame by which the page accesses (method execution and all the input stream reads) have to be done. I tried calling method.getParams().setSoTimeout(remainingTime) but it only sets the timeout once, just before opening the connection. Is there a way of getting the http connection behind an executing http method? Or setting the connection parameters? Thank you!
