Sorry, I misunderstood the question. I agree, it is undefined. It appears Socket connect timeout is neither documented nor configurable. My guess is that it's dependent on OS and server response.

Mike, The question is what is the effect of setting connectionTimeout
to 0. As far as I can see from the code, it does not in fact
guarantee that the connection will not timeout. What it means that
HttpClient will not give up waiting on that connection, but it does
not mean that Socket#Socket constructor would wait indefinitely. Am I
missing something?

I believe it is being set by HttpClient.execute(). The defaults for soTimeout and connectionTimeout are both 0.

Well, after having browsed through the source code, I am afraid the
answer is 'undefined'. HttpConnection class invokes socketFactory#createSocket method, which in its turn calls Socket#Socket constructor, which in its turn can timeout at any
time it sees fit. Does anybody see that differently? I do not think
there's much we can do about it

Yes, that's the point. However, I do not set any value for setTimeout in HTTPClient. And it is thrown after one minute in average... What's the default value if nothing is set up ?

George,


Please note that HttpConnection.ConnectionTimeoutException
represents a connection timeout (set with
HttpClient#setConnectionTimeout), not a read timeout (set with
HttpClient#setTimeout). Can it be that this confusion is the source
of the problem?

That's strange, because even when I do not set anything, the connection times out for about 1 minute, throwing a HttpConnection.ConnectionTimeoutException. Setting explicitly to 0 will never timeout ?


Thank you for the answer.

I am assuming you are talking about SO_TIMEOUT set via HttpClient.setTimeout(). This is the amount of time to wait when
reading on an open socket. This defaults to 0 which means that
it will wait forever.


"forever" means "until the server is bored and closes the
connection" :-)
